Find joy in doing nothing and you can find it in everything.
Experience happiness without a reason and you can create happiness for any reason.
Realize that happiness is not the result of good things, but is indeed the cause of good things.
There is nothing you need in order to be happy other than the choice to be.
Imagine living this day filled with joy, happiness and positive purpose. Imagine it, then take one more step and actually do it.
Let go of any concern you may have for what does or does not come your way. Focus instead on the good and valuable things that you can give, create, inspire and choose to experience.
Don't allow the world to pull you down with its negativity. Choose to transform the world around you with your own positive outlook.
Real joy is always a choice you can make.
Live with joy, let happiness flow out from you, and life becomes more radiant with each passing moment.
-- Ralph Marston
I really liked this as it was in my inbox a few days ago. I really like where it said "don't allow the world to pull you down with it's negativity". Can we get an 'Amen' on that one?
All one has to do is turn on the news or ready the news online and we are constantly bombarded with the worlds woes and concerns and misfortunes.
There rarely is any good news.
Or even when you are around people, whether it be at a store or in your neighborhood. Sometimes all you here are ungrateful, whiny, hate filled souls and it just dries up your happy spirit.
The world wants to drag us down to their state of unhappiness. They don't want us to be happy even in the midst of our trials . But we can have that! We are free through the blood of Almighty God!
Instead of being negative about out lot in life, we can shout and praise God in the battles of our life knowing He has got it all under control.
GOD...makes the difference. Oh Hallelujah!

I have plaque in my bedroom - a quote from Abraham Lincoln that says, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
I purpose to live each day to the fullest!! Hallalujah, GOD is good!
"There is nothing you need in order to be happy other than the choice to be. "
