Happiness is within

"A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be."  Abraham Lincoln

Have you ever waked up to the mindset that you were depressed and this was going to be a terrible day?

Guess what?  It will be.  You are programming your day to be bad and expecting the outcome to be bad.  You are inviting negative energy into your life and it will come.

All those negative thoughts about how unhappy you are will come to the surface in abundance and as you know the day will get worse and worse.

Stop it now! Reevaluate your day.  Tell yourself that you have a lot to be thankful for and you are going to be happy and no one is going to prevent your happiness.

Tell yourself that you are the master of your destiny and have chosen to be happy.  Then paste a smile on your face and take a few slow deep breaths and feel your composure building up until you feel contentment in spite of your circumstances or surroundings.

If you make up your mind to be happy and smile soon you will feel a happy feeling.  Sadness and depression cannot co-exist with happiness.  Happiness rules.

Practice this exercise every day.  Stand in front of a mirror and smile at yourself and say “I am a spiritual being and deserve to be happy so I will be."  Say it with feeling and look into the mirror into your own eyes and repeat it three times.  You might be amazed.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Everything you need for a happy life is within yourself.
