If You're Going to Do Something, Do it Cheerfully
...This idea is something I've contemplated quite a bit in my own life. There is a time for making a decision of whether or not to do something. During that time, you can weigh all your thoughts and feelings about that particular action. However, once you've decided to do something and are doing it, then the best approach is to do it with the most positive interpretation and feeling that you can create. Act with wholeheartedness. Give your full blessings to whatever you do.
"Approach the present with your heart's consent. Make it a blessed event."
- Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
I mean, you're already doing it. Once the decision is made that you're going
to do something, then you have two choices: do it bitterly and with a series
of complaints, or do it joyfully and with a happy spirit.
