Be kind
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
This quote is attributed to Ian Maclaren, the pseudonym of a 19th century Scottish author and theologian, and is a reminder to be considerate of others. We do not now how other people are feeling internally or the issues they are facing so we be kind to everyone we meet.
Reach (for the stars)
An upbeat, positive and inspiring song for the weekend 🙂
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your heart’s desire
I’m excited about an opportunity
As the saying goes every cloud has a silver lining. I’m about to receive a cloud that not only has a silver lining but is gold embossed as well!
Happiness is a choice
Happiness is a choice. No matter what situation we are in or circumstances we face, we can choose to be happy. Happiness is a state of mind that is in our control.
If I don’t appear to be happy, please remind me that happiness is a choice 🙂
Turning clouds into silver lining – changing potential negatives into positives
Last night I experienced a liberating, fun and challenging class of air yoga. Air yoga is form of yoga using hammocks suspended from the ceiling.
My plan after class was to catch the train back into the city. As I walked to the train station I saw the train arrive and ran to meet it. Unfortunately, it departed just as I arrived to the platform and the next train wasn’t for another thirty minutes.
Instead of cursing and burdening my mind with negative thoughts about the situation, I took it as an opportunity to eat dinner at the nearby cafe strip. I enjoyed my fish and chips and was happy and back at the station ready for the next train 🙂
I have the freedom to choose
It’s wonderful and to know that, no matter the situation I am in, I have the freedom to choose my response.
If something potentially bad happens, I can choose to be positive and not react negatively.
The freedom to choose is also very important as happiness is based not on one’s circumstances but on how you react to those circumstances.
Beautiful Day
The song Beautiful Day by U2, with its catchy, positive chorus and upbeat rhythm has been on my mind for the last few days. Today is another beautiful day, I’m not going to let it get away 🙂
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Giving and receiving smiles
Smiling at another person is one of the easiest ways to spread happiness and positivity on a daily basis. When one receives a smile back the happiness is multiplied.
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
Don’t Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin was the feel-good hit of the 1980s.
From the lyrics:
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy
It’s fine being concerned and trying to change things for the better, but worrying about things one cannot control stresses and can cause anxiety. Be happy.
