Two Major Keys to Living a Great Life

If someone were to ask me, “Dora, what are the two most important things to focus on in order to live a great life?” Without a doubt I would answer, “Number one, faith. FAITH. Number two, mastery of your mind or learning to work your mind.”

Faith, to me, means placing complete trust in something greater than yourself. Whether you call that God, Universe, Spirit, Source, moon, table, Allah, Buddha… it doesn’t matter. What matters is the relationship you have with that Higher Power and the knowing that you are loved and held by that Power no matter what.

The second piece is your mind. How you think about anything, is how you think about everything. That shows up not only in your thoughts but in your actions. It shows up in your life. Notice - are you having positive thoughts or are you having negative thoughts? Are your thoughts empowering or disempowering? Now, no one’s perfect. It’s a practice. We’re just looking for more positive thoughts than negative ones and moving up the ladder as we go.

And that’s it. The two main keys to a great life (in my opinion) - faith and mastery of your mind. Never underestimate the power of the Universe and the power of your thoughts. When both are combined for good, your life only continues to get better and better!
