Empower Newsletter – June 2013
| Welcome to the June edition of the Empower Newsletter. Can you believe this month is the end of the financial year already! It reminds me of how time flies and how it is too precious to be focusing on things that are not giving us any satisfaction. |

Did you know? |
‘satisfaction comes from within!’
Have you ever wondered why a person who seems to have everything is unsatisfied, yet another who doesn’t have much seems to be so completely satisfied. It doesn’t even seem to matter how many possessions, family and/or friends they have around them either. People are either satisfied or they are not!
The feeling of satisfaction actually comes from within, just as the feeling of not achieving and being unsatisfied comes from within! For that matter, all of our feelings are generated by, you guessed it, us! We control how we perceive everything.
So what does it take to feel satisfied? Well for me it’s about being in the moment, which means not thinking about something else and not wishing I was doing something else. It’s about finding the joy in what I am doing and allowing myself to enjoy it.
To feel satisfied it doesn’t have to be something we consider a huge achievement, etc. It can be as simple as living your life with people you enjoy, spending time alone, playing with your ipad or computer, or playing a sport on the weekends. You could even feel satisfied that you got up early this morning.
It all starts with knowing what makes you feel satisfied. For example, how do you know when you feel satisfied? Below are a few questions to help you discover what it takes for you to feel satisfied –
*What is satisfaction? *How do you know when you feel it? *What has to happen for you to feel it? *How often does it have to happen? *What feeling do you get?
Now that you have a better understanding of what it takes for you to feel satisfied, it is now time to decide if your answers are serving you. If you do not feel satisfied very often or if it takes a lot for you to feel satisfied, maybe your expectations are too high. By changing what has to happen for you to feel satisfied and making it more attainable, it makes sense that you will feel satisfied more often.
For example, if you believe that to feel satisfied you have to have everything cleared off your desk, all of your chores done, win every game, get the promotion, own your own home or be in an intimate relationship, you probably won’t be feeling satisfied very often.
By changing your rules for feeling satisfied, it will allow you to feel it more often!
Imagine how feeling satisfied more often would enhance your life, how it would translate to the people you love and how it would benefit your life in general.

Something to Ponder |
“You say, ‘If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.’ You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.”
~ Charles H. Spurgeon ~

Quote of the Month |
“If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with.”
