My Thoughts: I Choose To Be Happy

Taking a deviation from my normal blog posts, today I need to get something off my mind. Do you know someone who's always negative? Nothing is ever going right for this person. You absolutely dread talking to them. If you don't know a person like this, make sure it's not you.

Last year I decided to start the daily teachings of "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. I have the app on my phone and I've made it apart of my morning devotionals. The Secret is basically about the power of positive thinking. Reading these daily teachings have been so enlightening. It takes entirely too much energy to be negative. It zaps your spirit. It feels so much better just to focus on your blessings and the things you already have and not dwell on the negatives. I choose to be happy and grateful for my life the way it is now and I look forward to what God has in store for me. Focusing on positive things and pushing out negative thoughts has changed my outlook. I find myself smiling for absolutely no reason. I'm just happy to be alive and why shouldn't I be.

Ok, so I'll end my speech and get off my soapbox. Again, I know this is totally out of the norm for my blog, but this was placed on my heart to share. Have a great week guys.
