Find the Positive

There has been so much going on, that at times it’s a challenge to just keep up.  There’s only one non-lunar aspect, this week, but it will be important to take the time to process your thoughts before speaking and try to find a positive way to respond.

Take some time to respond this week.  Find a way to be kind in your responses.  Being mean doesn’t normally get you what you want.  You may have to explore your own past and come to terms with your part in a situation.  It’s easy to lash out at others and blame them for your problems, but if you can examine the situation, you may be able to learn something important and get to a better place. 

It would have been easier for me to blame my getting fired completely on my prior employer and say it was all their fault, but the truth is that I was no longer happy there.  I had reached the end of that path and was ready to start a new one, but I was stuck in my old way of thinking.  I couldn’t see it.  The universe helped me to close out that chapter of my life and open up a new one.  This isn’t to say that I didn’t go through a range of emotions as I processed the event, believe me, I did, but within a few weeks, I was able to see the positives.  Look for the positives and it can help to change your thinking.

Happiness Is….

What is the definition of happiness to you?  According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, the definition of happiness is “a state of well-being and contentment, joy.”  But what does that mean to you?
 
Happiness is something that you strive for.  You want to be happy in your life, but what do you mean when you break it down?  You may not even know the answer yourself.  It can be harder than you may think to define.
 
Once you’ve defined what happiness means to you, how do you get there?  The next obstacle.  Part of the reason why so many people are unhappy is we don’t know how to get there.  You keep trying over and over again.  You may get close, but it can seem to slip right through your fingers.
 
It can be hard to believe that happiness is just as much a state of being as sadness.  Sadness just seems to creep up on you and take over, but can happiness do the same?  It can if you allow it.  That can be a hard concept to grasp.  Happiness is a state of being.  If you want to be happy, then work towards being happy.  It can be done, but it may take some effort.  The negative some days seem so much easier to believe the positive.  Happiness is the same way.
 
How badly do you want it?  Sit down and make a list of all the things that make you happy.  Once you’ve done that see if you come up with any common themes. Take those common themes and see if you can develop a game plan to bring a little more happiness into your life.  If any time of year can bring more happiness, it’s summer.
 
Work from your list each day.  It’s all about creating a pattern.  Bring in the emotions you want and create them in your life.
