Think Positive!

Something good to read...this was sent to me by my cousin...read on and enjoy!

Before you SPEAK...LISTEN
Before you WRITE...THINK
Before you SPEND...EARN
Before you CRITICIZE...WAIT
Before you PRAY...FORGIVE
Before you QUIT...TRY

Your words, dreams and thoughts have the power to create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about.

If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.

If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.

If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating.

If you keep saying you're always broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.

If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you always find someone in your life to hurt or betray you.

If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.

If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, our very thoughts will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.

Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.

Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.

Watch your 'Thoughts', they become words...

Watch your 'Words', they become actions...

Watch your 'Actions', they become habits...

Watch your 'Habits', they become character...

Watch your 'Character', they become your DESTINY!

Happiness is...

My eldest son will occasionally asked me if I am happy. Of course I will say "Yes" and then will contemplate about what I said.

Happiness...so easy to say but will always make you think of its true meaning. My office mate once told me that in order for a person to be happy, he/she must learn to live a simple life.The more your life gets complicated the harder it will be to achieve the true meaning of happiness. The priest in my kids' school once said in his homily that grandeur, wealth and fame will only give you temporary pleasure. It is love and faith that gives endless joy to a person.

So what makes me happy? The thought that my loved ones are well and happy...my children are safe and sound...both myself and my husband have good jobs...and knowing that there is a God who loves us unconditionally, these are the things that can make me truly happy.
