Staying Positive
I am healthy and happy.
I see that which is beautiful and good.
I refuse to gossip and demean myself by uttering negative words or beliefs.
I refuse to be involved in quarreling, confusion and discord.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose
to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their
complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side
of life.
I can complain because I have to go to school, or I can eagerly open my mind
and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
I can mourn my lack of friends, or I can embark upon a quest (even if it is slowly
at first) to discover new relationships.
I can cry because roses have thorns, or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a
choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will
affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom
line: It's your choice how you live life.
Each morning wake up and say to yourself: "I have two choices today. I can
choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to
be in a good mood and focus on the positive aspects of life.
What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!"
