Think Positive Thoughts

Over the years, a lot has been written and said about the power of positive thinking. All of it is based on the premise that what's in your head - positive thoughts - inevitably influences what's in your heart as well as how you behave.

Here are some examples of the kind of positive thoughts that can lead to happiness:

This is such a lovely day.

There really are nice people in the world - like the driver who let me pull in front of him so that I could turn at the light.

My partner is such a thoughtful person.

I'm not rich, but I'm thankful that I have enough to pay my bills.

I'm a very healthy person for my age.

I love it when I hear the birds start to sing - it means spring is on the way.

That massage felt wonderful!

It's always great to hear from my kids - even when they have a problem.

If I could live my life all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

** Carry a notebook with you and write down every positive thought you have in a given day. Sometimes at the end of a long day it's hard to remember all the positives you experienced, but if you write them down throughout the day, you'll be able to reread your list before you go to bed and remind yourself that they day was actually pretty good.

I Am Responsible For My Own Happiness

I wanted to share this thought with you today because of something that happened to me the other day. Do you know that YOU are responsible for YOUR own happiness?

I know that "I am responsible for my own happiness!" not my parents, not the bad relationships, not my family, not even my children. I am responsible. Now that I know this I want to share my insights with others.....I know LIFE can be a challenge BUT nothing that you are going through should steal your happiness!! Life is a gift!! No matter what YOU are dealing with....sometimes we m...

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are - It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - It's when things seem worst that...
