Live Life in the Highest Way

Life has to be lived; why not live it in the highest way? Look for the good in everything.
~Paramahansa Yogananda

We can choose to live our lives in an unhappy way, focusing on the difficulties that we experience or we can focus on the positive things in our lives.  Our brains are hardwired to focus on the negative over the positive. Science has shown that we can change our focus to the positive. When we bring skillful, conscious attention to the positive aspects of our life, we change the neural networks in our brain so the conscious experience of happiness in our life becomes more and more automatic. Our practice of meditation supports us in being more self-aware, calmer and peaceful. When we are in that place, we can more easily focus on the positive, even in times of stress. This is living life in the highest way.
