You are probably familiar with the concept that our happiness is based not on the specific circumstances of our lives, but on how we perceive ourselves and our lives.
Take a moment to reflect on this.
Then ask yourself, "Where have my thoughts been today?"
"Have they been stuck in the past/imagining the future or have I been present?"
"Have my thoughts been overly critical of myself or others?"
"Or have they been optimistic?"
"Are my thoughts healthy?"
"Are they realistic?"
I do not believe that we always choose our feelings. But we do choose our thoughts, often subconsciously. And our thoughts then lead to feeling better or feeling worse--toward embracing the day and making the most of it, or complaining and taking our precious life for granted.
Guess what?
You have a choice to make when you wake up each morning. Ask can ask yourself,
"What thoughts and actions am I going to say yes to today?"
"What thoughts and actions am I going to avoid because they are not healthy or helping me to actualize to my full potential?"
Human life is temporary.
Every moment matters.
