“ Your life is a result of the thoughts in your mind” The
Secret. Worry about nothing, pray about everything” – The Bible. How often do
you find yourself, worrying or complaining? Well I got news for you, when you
do this; you are creating more negative experiences and are probably only going
to see more negative things.
Perception is a powerful thing; we
often only see what we are looking for. If you feel you are being wronged, you
are going to see more people wronging you.
If you feel you are broke, you are going to get more bills to pay, if
you are always talking about how much pain you are in, you are going to feel
more pain.
The amazing thing about being a human
being is we are one of the only species that has a brain that allows us the
opportunity to choose to see things differently. Our mind is in control of our
feeling, not the other way around. When
times are tough, take a break, say a prayer, and think about one small thing
that is going right or one thing you are grateful for. It could be something
and simple as you have a loving caring pet waiting for you at home. Instead of
thinking about how broke you are, think about how easy it is to earn money,
instead of thinking about the one thing your child did wrong this morning,
think about all the things they did right, instead of thinking about how
annoying your spouse can be, think about the loyalty they have to you.
When we pay attention to what is right or going
good for us, and have faith, we tend to see a lot more things in a positive
matter and can clearly see hope for the future. By practicing this you will
start to live a happier life, have better relationships and help make this
world a better place.
Cheers to positive thinking,
