"Faith is always in the present. Your attitude should be: Im excited to be alive at this moment. Im excited to be breathing today. Im excited about my family, my health, and my opportunities. I have plenty of reasons to be happy right now."
-Joel Osteen
Happiness is defined as inner peace and contentment. It is experienced when there are no worries, fears or obsessing thoughts. When we do something we love to do, or be around people we love to be with, when we win, or achieve a goal we become happy. Although it seems to be the result of positive events, truth is, happiness comes from the person itself, only triggered by positive events. The way we choose to look at things can have a positive or negative impact on our happiness. Always look at the bright side of things and never be too pessimistic. If you break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend look at the positives that this breakup can bring, such as having more time to dedicate to friends or going to gym, or simply relaxing and getting to know yourself better, use this time for self discovery. Make sure you do not wallow in self pity, your mind can easily fall into the trap of feeling sorry for yourself and that gets you nowhere. We all have setbacks and circumstances may change but do not let that change your mind. Keep your mind set on happiness. It is your choice to be happy. Make up your mind to enjoy this day, to have a blessed and prosperous day.
It's always important that we stay positive, the more positive you are the better the outcome of your day. So often we approach our work weeks focused on making it to Friday. Why is it that we look so forward to reaching Friday? Is it just the appreciation of having an off day? We should never only enjoy a day by knowing that we have a day off the next day. We have to treat everyday as if the next day is our day off, lets make sure that we can appreciate everyday to the fullest. They say time flies when your having fun, so that's why so many people come back to work Monday feeling like they didn't enjoy their weekends. If we take the time to enjoy everyday like it's a Friday maybe our time wouldn't feel so wasted. So many people finds reasons to be unhappy, when if they looked at it they could find so many reasons to be joyful. I've been guilty of this as well, I have a habit of going into my birthday month with the idea that nothing will ruin those days at all. After getting through that month and realizing that I went through everyday that month with a smile on my face brushing off any negative vibes I may have gotten, I realized that if I can do it for 31 days out of a year, why couldn't I do it everyday. Then I thought to myself that it is all mental. Try to tell yourself everyday will be a great day and 9 out of 10 times it will be. Positivity is all in our minds, and if you want to treat everyday like a Friday then you could do that with a smile on your face.
