Life is a mirror, whatever we chose to believe or think, life reflects it right back to us. Some of us go through our days worrying, expecting bad things to happen or expecting the least for ourselves, and life mirrors those expectations right back to us. As the saying goes: "Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind."
The good news is that we are never held hostage in the negative choices we make. We need to be aware that we have the ability to change through our choices. The moment we so desire, we can choose to make a conscious shift in our perception, to view our life and the world around us in a positive way; thus, creating brand new outcomes for ourselves.
We can choose to see the glass half full or half empty; to be negative or positive; optimistic or pessimistic; to see life as a struggle or as a fabulous adventure where everything we experience happens for a reason, and that there is always good to be extracted from every situation we encounter. The choice is always there for us to consciously make.
The greatest gift we can give ourselves is to choose to live life with gratitude, and with joy and optimism. Start each day expecting the best. Expect good things and good opportunities to come your way. Make it a practice to focus on your good throughout the day. Make it your unbreakable intention every day to be grateful. With Intention and consistency, very soon you'll be perceiving all of life through the lenses of positivity and optimism.
Oh yes, and life does seem to throw us lemons at times but even then, we must believe that in the midst of the worst imaginable situation we may experience, there are always hidden treasures in the form of lessons waiting to be found if we open our mind and our heart to the good that always awaits us.
I love this post.... Very uplifting and my language indeed. I am definitely the optimist and I love this paragraph you had......"Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind."
Absolutely true!
Thank you for this wonderful post.
Great great!
I strongly believe, and is my life experience, that if I think positive, and if I am optimistic about something, good happens to me.
Not only do good things come to us but, I think optimism and positivity set us free. and brings us great peace.
These have miraculous effects.
good
Thank you
Very nice!
Thank you.
When life throws me lemons I squeeze them into my eyes and laugh. "Is that all you got?!?!"
Very funny! Some people add tequila and get drunk on margaritas.
