As I sit on another wonderful plane ready to fly to a next interesting business destination, the words we travelers love to hear just came over the speakers: "We are cleared for takeoff."
And my thoughts turned to what keeps us humans grounded in life. While some people say that external forces are what hold them back, many of us know that the truth is more personal. While the physical world rolls on around us, we are still in charge of what we do and don’t do; reactive and proactive.
So what are the key ingredients in how we navigate a seemingly random and somewhat chaotic world? Happily, neuroscience, psychology and spiritual wisdom all agree that our internal navigational systems of thoughts, feelings, desires, visions, attitudes…are all ultimately within our control and at our disposal.
So who’s in charge of your happiness? Who can change your thoughts and feelings to fuel more positive actions and produce more positive results in your life? You got it. You are your own air traffic controller to ground or clear for takeoff as you see fit. Happy flying!
