Humans desire consistency.
Which is why what we see others say and do, is what we use to judge their intent.
We are unable to separate words and actions from intent, because in our own lives, we feel whole when our actions align with our intent.
It makes sense then, that to modify intent, start with what others can notice – your words and your actions.
Just like smiling makes you feel better, even when you do not intend to feel better, acting out your desire brings the desire closer.
Did you wake up feeling tired? Yet you wish you felt refreshed? Do what you would have done if you had woken up feeling refreshed.
Do you feel unloved? Yet you wish you felt loved? Do what you would have done if you felt loved.
Do you feel disappointed? Yet you wish you felt accomplished? Do what you would have done if things had fallen in place.
There is little we can do about a lot of circumstances in our lives, but we can choose our actions. We can always choose our actions.
Since we can choose our actions, we can choose to be happy or sad.
