Are you Happy Today?

It is our thoughts and attitudes that determine whether we are happy or upset.

Our society has led us to believe that it is people and conditions outside of ourselves that determine our state of mind.

Will we be happy or upset?

Will you have a good day or a bad day?

Most of us have experienced letting another person or even the weather decide if we will be peaceful and happy, or if we will be upset.

Many of us who have been on diets have even given our power away to scales to decide for us whether we are happy or depressed.

We sometimes choose to give our power, happiness, feelings, and emotions to other people to control for us, at their wishes.

Improving our thoughts and attitudes is like the healing of our sadness and negative thoughts by allowing them to be transformed into happiness and love.

People and conditions do not cause us as much upset as our own thoughts and attitudes. Our real state of mind is determined by the positive or negative thoughts, that we entertain the most.

We can learn to be at peace today regardless of whether the stock market goes down, our car doesn’t start, the toilet won’t flush or our best friend rejected us.

The ability to make this choice is one of the greatest gifts that has been given to us. The will to decide what thoughts we put in our mind can make a difference.

Will they be thoughts of peace and love or conflict and hate?

Today, I choose to remember that I can control the thoughts in my mind. I can elect to change all thoughts that are negative and causes me chaos, sadness, and depression.

Today, I choose freedom by consciously selecting to have only loving and peaceful thoughts in my mind.
