“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” ―
Happiness is not about what was but about what is right now.
The past shows us one thing about happiness we know what it feels like because we have known happy times. The problem could be that we are trying to recreate the exact situations or times from the past and that is not how it works.
If we live in the now we can then feel the joy in so many things that are happening within us and around us. We have proven we know how to be happy from past experience but we need to focus on what is making us happy today so that we can stop looking backwards and realize that happiness is part of our now.
The tendency to find fault with our lives becomes a habit. We then start looking for things to be unhappy about when in truth there are so many things to feel good about we just bypass those for the negative.
- What if you made the change from negative to positive ideas about your life today?
- What if you decided to focus on what is making you happy right now?
- What if you thought about everything today that has made you feel good?
It really is about how you are using your thoughts and how those thoughts make you feel.
I challenge everyone to stop, clear your mind, and bring at least one happy thought about today up. You will find that many more follow they just can't help it.
Many Blessing to All
Sue
