Or do you dwell on the negatives?.I know a few people who always lament what they don't have and don't appreciate what they do have.I have been unemployed for several months now and am finding it very hard to pay my mortgage,infact I haven't really been up to date since I moved in 6 months ago.I am behind on my bills and have had a few disconnection warnings.It's enough to drive you insane with stress.But,I choose to look on the bright side.I have two healthy, happy kids.A Grandchild on the way.A roof over my head,loving friends and family.Food in my stomach and my health.I have a very abundant life!!!

Nikki I am pleased you have such a positive outlook to life. To give your job prospects a bit of a nudge put 5 chinese coins under the front door mat. It encourages money to come into the house. Smudge the house to release any negativity and while you are doing this think of a job you would really like.
Good Luck in your endeavours my Friend Hugs.

You can buy smudge sticks from any mystical shop or you can also use white sage incense. The coins can sometimes be brought from places like Crazy Clarks also as well as the mystical shops.

Nikki I am so sorry that you have still not succeeded on a Job I really am
But you are right in what you are saying Sweetie but you are doing the right thing and looking at what you have got more then I can do at the moment if I am honest
But no doubt I will come round soon
Do not get me wrong I know I am lucky with what I have got I really do but a lot of things are going round my head at the moment and it makes me glad that I am alone
Due to my Doctor Visit last week
Love and Hugs

It's ok Gabs,I know the right job is waiting for me to find it.I have allowed myself to wallow in self pity and then I decided I want to be happy regardless of whether I have a job or not.I can understand why you are having a hard time of it at the moment.Just have faith that you will be ok
Love and hugs

Ya I always luk at the brighter side of my life and always keep positive attitude towards my every problem . I never get dishearten and always take the life in a positive manner. I believe that when we go for positive aspects of anything then we can get the better out of it otherwise we will not be able to do anything.

I am definitely one who sees the positives in most situations. Sh*t, we only get to live this life once and if we focus on what we don't have rather than what we have and what we've achieved, then what sort of life would it be?
How's the job hunting going? When I was looking for work, my friend just kept saying to me "doors and windows". When one door shuts a window of opportunity opens. I also believe that when we do go through rough times it makes us appreciate what we have, so much more, even when times pick up again.

Well ausni,
Always, always do look on the bright side of life. Taking everything to heart that doesn't happen the way you want, can have significant draw backs of your life. I've always look at things with a grain of salt, or laughter. You know they say.. laughter heals all wounds!!

Sometimes, I do ask myself why it is like this and not like that? But, whenever I think about others, I am much more lucky in life. Definitely I can't compare my life to a millionaire. I am just an ordinary person. As long as everything is enough, I should thankful to God. I respect you for you always think of the bright side in your life though it is the toughest time for you. Good luck and hope you will go through the hardship patiently and come out from it faster.
