My husband is a very laid back kind of guy. Rarely do things rattle him to his core and if they do, they must be something BIG. As long as I have known him (which feels like it has been forever), he has always been this source of calm in the midst of chaos, always the believer that we are given all we need at a certain time, always the one to bring focus and clarity to an otherwise blurred viewpoint. He has shown me a calmer way of life. Along with the Think Thankfully philosophy, his presence and teachings have made all the difference in my life.
I truly believe that we are given all we need at a particular time. Whether it be money, jobs, friendship, good health, love.....we are given exactly what we need at that time in our lives. I believe we can bring these good things into our lives by living with an attitude of gratitude and thankfulness, living with happiness and pleasure, being more giving rather than always looking for what's in it for me. When we choose a positive attitude, positive lifestyle, we attract more positive into our lives. The difference is noticeable. While many people have told me they noticed the difference in me, I don't always see it in myself. Sure I am happier on a daily basis. I don't let things bother me as much as they used to. I can put a positive spin on most situations. But it wasn't until this morning, when I was feeling like I was on a slip and slide, not sure how I was going to get my footing back, that a calmness came over me and I realized that I am going to be ok. Sure I reached out for my husband, but his reassurance to me was just that, reassurance. It wasn't a convincing, it was a reassuring.
When we no longer worry about things, more opportunities present themselves. We find those opportunities in the most unlikely of places. They become endless possibilities for us. When we greet the day with happiness rather than misery at all that needs to be done, gratitude for what we do have rather than focusing on what we are lacking, eager anticipation at all the goodness out there rather than the one piece of bad luck we may have had, the day greets us back with limitless supply of all we need. We may not feel as though what we have is enough, or what we were given was a plentiful amount, but it was just what we needed at the time.
Positive energy manifests itself in our way of thinking. When we are truly thankful beings, grateful for all that we have, that positive energy springs forth with more of an abundance of positive occurrences in our lives. If we have positive thoughts, become more enthusiastic about things, smile more and complain less, become more productive in our daily lives, that is what is brought back to us, giving us more reasons to be positive, happy, smiling, THANKFUL people. Think about it: when we are mopey, negative, gloomy, pessimistic, that is what we tend to attract. We constantly have that little black raincloud hovering over us. That negative energy manifests into negative events and we get caught up in a never ending circle of doom and gloom. Let your thoughts and emotions reflect what you want in your day, in your week, in your life. When you start living a more positive life, you will find the positive blessings will be yours in abundance!
Be positive! It's not just a blood type, it's an attitude!!!!
