#positivity

"Life is simple.  Your life is made up of only two kinds of things - positive things and negative things. ~The Power

Perhaps it's because I've been re-reading The Power, again, and trying to keep everything in life in perspective.  

Trying to see the big picture if you will.

But the more I try and the harder I look, the angrier people seem to be around me.  It's as if no one is happy anymore, and it's downright exhausting to stay positive in a negative world.  

It makes me wish I were a turtle and had a shell to hide from the world at times.  

So I thought that maybe all of us needed a wake up post and reminders that we are only here for a short time.  We really ought to find the good in life and let the rest of it roll off our backs.

Pay it forward.

Savor a meal.

Text something funny.

Read something.

Pin a happy quote.  Make it your desktop background.

Take an Instagram.

Make a playlist.

Go for a walk.

Breathe.

Watch Modern Family

I know stuff is still going to happen to us daily, hourly even, but keeping our focus on what's good instead of what's bad should be your only goal tomorrow. 

And then the next day.

And then the next....

You see the pattern?  

Am I writing the same post over and over again with different words and pictures?  Probably, but I will continue till we all can see what is important.  Until we understand.

What will be your #positivity moment today?

And if that doesn't convince you, maybe this video will....  enjoy :)

Happy

It dawned on me last night as I was reading my happy book, that I had stopped writing about the words in my blog.  I had started this because I truly believe that when we live our lives according to certain words, our lives change for the better (or worse, depending on your words).  For instance, when we try to go through our day with strength on the brain, we might make different choices.  Some people need calm while others might need a dose of energy.  All of the words mean something different to everyone and that's what is so perfect about it.  The words are yours to live.  


Let me repeat that:  

The words are yours to live.

How could I have forgotten this?  Told y'all I was lost.  Well, I'm back and working on the word happy at the moment.  I lost happy too somewhere along the path, and I have been on a search for it the past two weeks (see below).  

What I have learned that it was never really gone, but that I just have a knack for finding all the crap in life to worry and stress about.  Somewhere along the path, I stopped looking at the flowers and could only see the weeds.  And I hate weeds.

So my word today, and every day, is happy.  I will leave you with this since I think it sums it up pretty darn good.

Have a happy day.
