For anyone who has followed me for any length of time, you know I love quotes and now I have added a thought to get you reflecting even more.
Quote
"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." ~Charles Dickens
Thought
"You can't feel resentment and gratitude at the same time. One will always drive out the other. So the question is: Which would you rather be-angry or happy? Indignant or grateful? Upset or serene? Would you rather hold onto your self-righteous resentment or fill your heart with forgiveness and gratitude?"
~Mac Anderson and BJ Gallagher, authors "Learning to Dance in the Rain"
So, what are you reflecting on today?
Is it all the blessings you have or the things that you don't?
Do you look at the positive or the negative?
Where you place your emphasis will show up most in your life.
So, do you want happiness or misery?
Seems like a silly question because who would want misery or pain or anything negative? Obviously, many, many people because that is where they place their focus and their thoughts. Remember what you think about, where you put your focus, the energy that radiates from you, creates your reality. You attract exactly to you what your thoughts produce.
My recommendation, think good thoughts and you will get good results. I am not saying that everything in your life will change in an instant or overnight because like anything else it took time for you to get where you are today and it will take time to change those habits, however, you will feel instantly better when you focus on all the blessings you have and this will get your life going in the direction you want it to go.
And while this is really simple I can tell you that this is where it all begins. Don't believe me? Check in with yourself. How is your life going? What thoughts are you both subconsciously and consciously thinking? Do you ever find yourself saying bad things about yourself in your head? Are you ever surprised by the negative things that come out of your mouth? Would you be friends with you, if you talked about you the way you talk about yourself? Think about it and the answers will reveal themselves.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog today. I am blessed that you have done so. Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts.
May you be blessed always and in all ways.
