It's hard to choose what to write about because there are so many wonderful things going on in my life right now. I know I can be nauseatingly positive sometimes and it can be a bit much for some, but I just love being happy and we all know happiness is a choice, right?
Wait a minute, did I hear someone say, NO or yeah right! That's ok, you don't have to believe it. Just ponder the idea for a moment though.
Maybe it is possible,...Maybe, just maybe if you think it might be possible the next time you get upset or frustrated you can consider changing your mind.
I mean why not? Who's it going to hurt? So, let's say you get upset about something, ok here we go,... Someone does something that you find to be disappointing, and you get frustrated. Why not just stop the vicious circle of thoughts regarding that person or situation and think about something else that makes you happy. When you think about something that makes you happy, like a baby's laughter or an adorable puppy, you can't help but smile. So you see, you can choose happiness. You are not a victim to your thoughts. You can change your mind and that is the totally awesome thing about our brains.
It sounds way too easy to work doesn't it? Just stop my thoughts? What do you mean? What's his name really disappointed me, how could he do that? Doesn't he know that I feel yadda yadda whatever? Well,...not always, in fact very rarely is someone else taking into consideration all of how you will feel about their actions. Even if they were to take your feelings into consideration, can they read your mind? Do they have your experiences? Are they going to be spot on when they do take your feelings into consideration? They have no clue all that you are exposed to in dealing with the details of your life, so even if they are kind enough to try, how could they ever accurately take your feelings into consideration?
I like to assume that everyone is doing the very best that they can given their current level of awareness. Is that true? I don't really know, but who cares! It makes me feel better and that is what I am here to do, feel better.
So you know what? I'm happy and I'm not going to apologize for that, I will say however that I have sympathy for you if you are frustrated with my happiness or my positive outlook. I have been frustrated before by someone else's clarity and happiness, but I soon realized that their clarity and happiness can only apply to them. So, I stopped being upset that they had clarity and happiness. Then I began to focus on my own. I'm only trying to have the best possible day I can. That is what I choose and because of that choice I have so many wonderful things going on in my life.
I am grateful I am aware of my choice.
