Choose happiness

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." ~ Riki Lynn Tull

It is not easy to control your thoughts and attitude.  It takes practice to get it right.  If you remind yourself daily that you are the only one that has the power to make yourself happy - then you will see it happen.  Constant water carves out rivers, gorges and the Grand Canyon.  Small happy thoughts everyday will make a difference.  Give it a try.  Otherwise, let others and other events control you and your destiny.  What do you have to lose?

Affirmation: "I have the power to control my thoughts and change my attitude no matter what happens to me."

Think Good Things

A man is literally what he thinks ~ James Allen

If you think you are a loser, then you are a loser and will treat others as losers.  When your thoughts are self-depricating and you will live what you believe.  You then create a muddy picture of the world.  Changing self thoughts is not easy but is neccessary for a better life.  Start simply with even the smallest idea such as, "I am good at breathing."

Watch

Borrowed from my friend Karen G. (via Facebook) Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
