Are you having a happy day? I’m sure you are—if you have acquired the happiness habit.
Happiness does not belong in the past or future. It does not depend upon some event, person, or circumstance. To be happy, eliminate negative thoughts and feelings from your mind. Learn to substitute positive, constructive thoughts for negatives.
Refuse to get upset over mistakes, either your own or another’s. Failure is simply a lesson in learning. Go on. Decide to be happy today. Build an expectancy that something good is going to happen. Creating such a happy, uplifted frame of mind makes you receptive to your good.
Happiness is a mental attitude. You are as happy or as unhappy as you have made up your mind to be.
Gently and wisely God instructs and leads us toward our highest good. God is writing the answer to our every prayer.
Wherever we may be, whatever it is that we want to accomplish, God’s Spirit within guides us to the right opportunities and provides the means to achieve our goals. As we acknowledge God’s loving Spirit abiding within us, we tune in to divine wisdom and directing power. We become open to God’s loving direction, and the answers we seek come through. We are filled with the wisdom and power that we need to meet any situation lovingly, wisely, and positively.
When we accept the gift of guidance and follow the inner leading that comes to us, we find it easy to make decisions. We know what to do and how to do it. The way is made plain before us. God is within us, always ready to help, always ready to show the way that is right for us.
Expect the best to happen to you and to all people everywhere. Expect all situations to get brighter and brighter day by day. Maintain an attitude of radiant optimism about the universe and everyone in it.
God’s Spirit is active in your mind. Your mind becomes more brilliant with divine wisdom every day. Your faculties become keener. Your body becomes stronger and more vital. You find new opportunities. You meet new friends. You discover new joys and exciting experiences.
Since God’s Spirit of goodness is active, expect the most challenging situations to work out in a beautiful way. Expect the people of the world to draw closer and closer to one another in a band of love and good will. Always look for the best in life and know that God is good.
If you see and admire positive traits in others, tell them so. If you feel impressed by their strength and courage in facing a challenge, let them know.
Acknowledgment of the good qualities within others offers them reassurance and helps build their self-esteem. Expressing confidence in a person’s ability to accomplish something actually strengthens that ability.
In our society many care more about getting their own way than about the well being of others. Self-centered attitudes cause people to complain, criticize, and condemn. Love involves caring enough to keep your thoughts and words positive. Be warm and caring. Give affection and encouragement to others and you will get them back.
