365QOD-Day586

“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you.  If you do that you’re in control of your life.  If you do not, life controls you” – Tony Robbins

What a wonderful quote.  Learn how to use pain and pleasure and you control life.  If you do not, life controls you and you feel miserable.

How do you teach yourself to use pain and pleasure?  I believe we have to awaken and be conscious that each moment we make very small choices.  These choices either move us towards pain or towards pleasure.  We have to stop trying to move forward in order to recognize which one is driving us.

The key is to be conscious.  To be aware that you are given those choices and that you are actively choosing one over the other.  This is not easy to do even for one day.

Today’s question is:
“Can you be conscious of all of your choices for one day?”
