I got this quote in an email from one of my best friends, I have no idea who said it first but I thought it was so apropos I wanted to share it. Here it is;
“The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.” – unknown
Do you quality control your thoughts as often as you should?
Most of us probably could do a better job at this, but it seems like one of those things we let go. We watch the purchases we make, we watch the gifts we are given, we watch the bag of food we receive in the drive thru, then why oh why do we so often fail to watch our own thoughts?
If you believe your life is negative it will be, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The reason this works like this, is because even if its unconsciously done, we make choices that re-enforce this thought of negativity.
Now flip it. If we think positively about our lives will things go better?
In my own experience the answer is yes. Here is where the doubters scoff. They miss this crucial point- positive does not mean all your selfish desires come true.
Positive means that when a bushel of lemons lands in your lap you shift gears and make some lemonade. Positive means that no matter how bad the situation you acknowledge you learned something positive. Positive means that we were not meant to have Heaven on Earth, but we were meant to try for it. Positive means we see ourselves as an action in our own life, rather then a victim of our lives.
Love is the answer. Find love and find freedom.
