People often ask me why I am happy.
These are people who know me, they know what I have been through. Heartbreak, loss, death, physical challenges, the usual.
Or, is it?
The answer is complex as well as simple.
If you wish to be happy, then be.
Let your attention be drawn to that which is happy, positive, uplifting, inspiring, supportive.
All that a person gives attention to, will become a part of them whether a bummer or joy inducing.
There are many references to it, such as,
"As a man thinketh, so is he."
The Law of Attraction
When you smile the world smiles with you
One concept which requires a bit of effort is to phrase in my mind, speech which is positive from that which is commonly negatively phrased when it is spoken.
It takes far less effort than it used to.
Speaking in the positive can make a very pronounced difference in a persons attitude, mood, even their view of the world!
Case in point, the pony story.
Yup, ha ha!
A man had 2 sons. He wished to give a gift to both, the gift of positive thinking to possibly improve their view of the world.
Both sons were presented with identical horse stalls filled with hay, oats and a load of horse manure.
One son remarked with disgust, "Why would you give a horse stall filled with hay, oats and manure as a gift??"
The other was tearing through the hay, oats and manure with a fervor, laughing as he did so.
When the father asked the boy what he was doing, he replied:
"I'm looking for the pony!"
Positive attitude!
Tricky to accomplish, easy to attempt, or is it vice versa?
You decide.
Hold a good thought for me. ❤
