Today I will choose to be Happy !!!!!!!

Posted on 26. Nov, 2009 by admin.

Beginning this very moment, I am a happy person, for I now truly understand the concept of happiness.  Few others before me have been able to grasp the truth of the physical law that enables one to live happily every day.  I know now that happiness is not an emotional phantom floating in and out of my life.  Happiness is a choice.  Happiness is the end result of certain thoughts and activities, which actually bring about a chemical reaction in my body.  This reaction results in a euphoria that, while elusive to some is totally under my control.

Today I will choose to be happy, I will greet each day with laughter!

Within moments of awakening, I will laugh for seven seconds.  Even after such a small period of time, excitement has begun to flow through my bloodstream.  I feel different.

I am different!  I am enthusiastic about the day. I am alert to its possibilities. I am happy!

Laughter is an outward expression of enthusiasm, and I know that enthusiasm is the fuel that moves the world.  I laugh throughout the day.  I laugh while I am alone and I laugh in conversation with others.  People are drawn to me, because I have laughter in my heart. The world belongs to the enthusiastic, for people will follow them anywhere!

Today I will choose to be happy. I will smile at every person I meet!

My smile has become my calling card.  It is, after all, the most potent weapon I possess. My smile has the strength to forge bonds, break ice and calm storms.  I will use my smile constantly.  Because of my smile, the people with whom I come in contact on a daily basis will choose to further my causes and follow my leadership.  I will always smile first. That particular display of a good attitude will tell others what I expect in return.

My smile is the key to my emotional makeup.  A wise man once said, “I do not sing because I am happy, I am happy because I sing!”  When I choose to smile, I become the master of my emotions. Discouragement, despair, frustration and fear will always wither when confronted by my smile.  The power of who I am is displayed when I smile.

Today I choose to be happy.  I am the possessor of a grateful spirit!

In the past, I have found discouragement in particular situations until I compared the condition of my life to others less fortunate. Just as a fresh breeze cleans smoke from the air, so a grateful spirit removes the cloud of despair. It is impossible for the seeds of depression to take root in a thankful heart.

My God has bestowed upon me many gtifts, and for those I will remember to be grateful.  To many times I have offered up the prayers of a beggar, always asking for more and forgetting to give thanks.  I do not wish to be seen as a greedy child, unappreciative and disrespectful.  I am grateful for sight and sound and breath.  If ever in my life there is a pouring out of blessings beyond that, then I will be grateful for the miracle of abundance.

I will greet each day with laughter. I will smile at every person I meet. I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.  Today I will choose to be happy!!!
