THE GOOD THINGS

The good things

If you spend your time thinking about all the things that are wrong with
your life, you'll likely create even more of them. Why would you want to do
that?

Instead, keep more of your thoughts focused on all the things that are
right with your life. Your attention to those good things in life will make
them stronger and more plentiful.

What do you enjoy most about the person you are? What gives you a true and
abiding sense of satisfaction? What things do you do that cause you to know
you've made a positive difference in the world? Sincerely answer these
questions, and you cannot help but focus on what is right with your life.

Define yourself not by what's wrong, but by what's going right for you.
Count your many blessings, and you'll be blessed with many more.

Begin each day reminding yourself of all the things that are right with
your life. And at the end of the day, you'll find even more.

I've always believed that what you focus on expands. If you focus on what's missing in your life or your negative feelings, then eventually that is all you will be able to see.

So why not focus on the good instead.




Karen, I must say I have seen this work in my own life. I am not perfect and neither is my hubby and I use to waste good energy focusing on what he should change etc etc, I stopped b/c it was only making us miserable and now I am at peace. I focus on all his good points and it really makes the few negatives ones seem so insignificant.

Thanks for posting this Shamma!! I once heard that we have thousands upon thousands of negative thoughts per day (starting with the time you wake up). It is amazing how even the little things can weigh you down emotionally. It is important to try and replace negative thoughts with positivity!!! Although it is extremely hard!!!

Kathleen that is why before anything takes hold of my mind I start with prayer. It is such a calming and peaceful way to start my day. Being thankful
