Most people understand how it feels to feel good or really bad but don’t realize they are living with negative feelings a lot of the time. People think that feeling bad means feeling extreme negativity, such as sadness, grief, anger, or fear, and while feeling bad does include all those feelings, negative feelings come in many degrees.
If you feel “okay” most of the time, you may think that feeling “okay” is a positive feeling because you don’t feel really bad. If you’ve been feeling really bad and you now feel okay then most certainly feeling okay is far better than feeling really bad. But feeling okay most of the time is a negative feeling, because feeling okay is not feeling good. Feeling good means feeling good! Good feelings mean you’re happy, joyful, excited, enthusiastic, or passionate.
When you’re feeling okay, average, or you’re not really feeling anything much at all, then your life will be okay, average, or not much at all! That is not a good life. Good feelings mean you feel really good, and feeling really good is what brings a really good life!
“The measure of love is love without measure.”
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)

When you’re feeling joyful, you are giving joy, and you’ll receive back joyful experiences, joyful situations, and joyful people, wherever you go.
From the smallest experience of your favorite song playing on the radio to bigger experiences of receiving a pay raise – all of the circumstances you experience are the law of attraction responding to your feeling of joy. When you’re feeling irritated, you’re giving irritation, and you’ll receive back irritating experiences, irritating situations, and irritating people wherever you go. From the small irritation of a mosquito, to the bigger irritation of your car breaking down, all of these experiences are the law of attraction responding to your irritation.
Every good feeling unites you with the force of love, because love is the source of all good feelings. Feelings of enthusiasm, excitement, and passion come from love, and when you feel any of them consistently, they give you a life filled with enthusiastic, exciting, and passionate things.
You can harness the power of a good feeling to the fullest by turning up its volume. To turn up the volume of a feeling, take charge of it and deliberately intensify it so you feel as good as you can. To amplify enthusiasm, revel in the feeling of enthusiasm; milk the feeling for all that you can by feeling it intensely! When you feel passion or excitement, revel in those feelings and intensify them by feeling them as deeply as you can. The more you amplify your good feelings, the greater the love you give, and the results you will
receive back in your life will be nothing short of spectacular.
When you’re feeling any good feeling, you can also amplify it by looking for things you love. Before sitting down to write this book, each day I spent several minutes amplifying my good feelings. To amplify my good feelings, I thought about all the things I love. I counted the things I love nonstop one after the other: my family, friends, home, flowers in the garden, the weather, colors, situations, events, and things I loved that happened during the week, month, or year. I kept listing everything I love in my mind until I felt
amazing. Then I sat down to write. It’s as easy as that to amplify your good feelings, and you can do it anywhere, at any time.
