Hey everyone, I hope you are doing amazing today! You woke up, God loves you, you can breathe, you can walk, you can speak, you can hear, you can see...okay you get the point--you are blessed! =)
Thoughts for today...
Bad things happen to everyone who is living! Is that what you keep thinking about, dwelling upon, focusing on or feeling sorry for yourself for? CHANGE your focus to your blessings!! Change your mindset!
THAT is where happiness lies-focus on the GOOD things in your life--your family, the roof over your head, the love you share with others, the faith you have, the body you are blessed with, the health you still have and the life you have!!
Stop focusing on what you don't have-that is why you are not happy! Realize I NEVER mentioned how much money you have? Nothing to do with how happy you are-at all.
Anyone can focus on the bad and feel sorry for themselves. TRUE strength comes from focusing on the GOOD and your blessings. 
Take it a step further--bless someone--make someone else happy--get the focus off of you and your problems! Then, you will find happiness. =) Stop talking and start doing.
If you need prayers I would love to do that for you!!

It is very hard to focus on the positive when life sometimes overwhelms with negative.

@JohnRoberts And that is why it takes true strength to focus on the positive. Anyone can focus on the negative-focusing on the positive takes discipline and a strong mind. =)

It is hard, I have faced some times when I wanted to give up, overwhelmed? Yes. I know I still a have a huge fight coming and I am not looking forward to it but I know I have to stay positive and not allow it to mess with my life now.

@Diannen I agree! Yes we all do, we all go through trials but that shouldn't be what takes over our lives and thoughts each day.

Wow. What a great post. It brings in a lot of maturity. We should surely count on the blessed things that we have around. When we start missing what we don't have, we tend to lose our happiness and life. Thanks for this.

@LovingMyBabies First of all,thanks a lot for sharing this nice,inspiring post.You are absolutely right.One should focus on what one has , not on what one does not.This approach enables us to transform our minus points into plus ones.

Yep - focusing on the bad stuff just brings you and everyone else down . . . I do think that can actually make one physically and emotionally sick. The focus should be on the positives . . . be happy for what you already have first and let that be a foundation for your happiness for life.

@LovingMyBabies I've sort of been there, not to the point of serious depression, but certainly I have let things eat me up. Can't do that anymore. I love that you are always positive .

@Shavkat Yes we all have hard days-but that does not mean our focus should be on the negative all the time.

@KrauseHome Whenever a negative thought comes creeping in you talk to God, or remind yourself we have an amazing Father who loves us, provides for us and He will help us through whatever we are going through.

@dodo19 Oh it is not easy sometimes, that's why it takes constant reminders to ourselves about what we have been through before, how we got through it and we remind ourselves it could be much worse, and pray too.

When I woke today I was having a dream where I was sitting at a table just having a talk with my Dad.
I miss my Dad terribly since he passed, but then I have a dream like that and it renews my faith in life and so much more. And I feel for those that never experience a dream like that.

@Juliaacv YES! Absolutely! And it's not easy, it takes practice, at first you lie to yourself about the good because you truly don't see it yet, and it's a struggle every day but you keep training your mind to see the positive and eventually we will! =)

@LovingMyBabies That is so right. I try to give thanks as I exercise, both to get me thru it as well as in thanksgiving that I can move my body as many cannot. Its all in the perspective that we view life isn't it?
