Try something different today. If you happen to
Be standing in line and it's moving slowly, instead
Of becoming agitated by the wait, focus on the
Positive side.
You now have a few extra minutes to review your
Errands and make sure you have not forgotten
Anything; a few extra minutes to think about a
Project at work; a few extra minutes to chuckle about
Something funny your child said earlier in the day.
Don't tie up your emotional energy to become
Agitated or anxious about situations you can't
Control. Instead, go with the flow. This change of
Attitude will make a huge difference in your day.
Most of us don't really give much thought to
Happiness. We just know whether we feel happy
Or not. If you're not happy, you may go searching
For it. You may think happiness will come with
Material things or relationships. Often it doesn't.
If you feel that people react to you negatively or
Offensively to things that you do and say, it may be time
That you share your troubles with others too often.
After a while people begin to avoid you, and that
Makes unhappiness worse.
Lasting happiness comes from sharing your
Positive attitude with others. The more you share
The more you will get it in return. Happiness also
Comes from serving others, like finding little ways
To make others happy.
You can be certain that, at the end of this day, many things will be different than they were when the day began. For the world is always changing, every day, every moment.
You can fight against the changes, and resent them, and worry about them, and complain and fear them. Or you can see the opportunities in those changes, and find ways to put them to positive use.
If you are fearful of change, you'll end up spending a lot of time living in fear, because change is ever present. When you find ways to make change your friend and ally, then your time will be well used in the service of your best possibilities.
Changes can often be frightening, but keep in mind that you've been successfully dealing with changes your entire life. That's how you've learned, and grown, and moved forward.
Look at each change that has come, and no matter how it might seem at first, see if you can find the opportunity in it, the opportunity to move forward. You've already made it through countless changes, you're well equipped for dealing with change, and as your world continues to change, you can continue to make it even better.
