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!"
