Self Care Inspiration-Happiness
is Within You
Happiness
is Within You
by Teresa King
Have you ever wondered why some people wake up in the
morning as chirpy as the busy birds outside the window?
While others wake up grumpy. Ever wonder why some people
seem happy most the time, while others are withdrawn, sad,
depressed or bitter? Well, I have. And, since I pondered
I went to find out why.
It is all in attitude. Changing the way you think about
things. Is the glass half full, or is it half empty? Is
the sun bright and beautiful or is it hot and miserable?
Does the rain falling day after day drag yours spirits down,
or do you ever look at the beauty of the rain? Every situation
in life has two sides as we have good we also have to have
evil, for without evil we would not recognize good. Without
cold, there would not be any warm. Without noise, we could
not recognize the beauty of silence. When Einstein failed,
he didn't think failure, he basically thought, oh I have
found one more way that my idea won't work. When Lincoln
tried for president countless times, he didn't think failure,
he thought about how he could improve his campaign so he
could win an election.
Attitude, and how you perceive things
are the key to your own happiness. If you are feeling overwhelmed
in a situation in life, rather than sitting there feeling
sorry for yourself, think positive. Find something that you
can learn and gain from the situation. A death in the family
is a tragic thing. But, look around, did the death not bring
the rest of the family together for grieving and emotional
support and closer to each other as they talked about memories
of their loved ones? Did not death bring into mind the frailty
of life, and the knowing that you could leave this world any
minute and that tomorrow could be your last day? Did you do
all you wanted to do in this life time yet? Or, have you sat
back making excuses for each day of why you have not reached
for dreams?
Attitude, wake up in the morning, smile in the mirror,
welcome each day with the love you would give your precious
child and savor the day. When things are down, turn them
around. When things are happy, pile that happy time, into
your mind, where you can pull it out anytime you need a
bit of cheering up. Embrace life and be grateful for things
in life.
Attitude. Have you ever noticed how happy it feels to give?
Giving of ourselves is wondrous thing. To see the smile
of gratitude upon someone's radiant face. Or hear the small
thank you for your help, is a great way to start on an attitude
change.
Attitude, don't fixate on small things. Look at the larger
scale. It is amazing that in a true crisis, you can rise
up to the challenge, but it is always the last little small
thing that throws people off into an angry fit.
Remember, many people are born blessed with good health
and money are not happy. And, many people who have suffered
and struggled are the happiest of all. It is all on how
you look at it. So, keep your chin up, and try to find the
bright side to every situation that life throws you, for
inside yourself lies true happiness.
