Frowny or Smiley Droplets?

‘It could be another not-so-good  day!’ I uttered yesterday  when I woke up. Aside from colds  I got fever and body ache. Maybe due to bad weather.  Sigh….   I stared blankly outside the glass window and then noticed the droplets, probably suggesting another rainy day?. . . . or a  troubled day? Ahhh.. it’s all in the mind, I whispered….
frown, smiley, moist, droplet
Then I remembered the article  written by  Norman V. Peale. In his book 'The Power of Positive Thinking', he asked:  ‘What is the easiest thing in the world to accomplish? He  answered: ‘Choosing unhappiness!’ 



That would be easy because you just have to go around and tell everyone that things aren’t going well. Nothing is really satisfactory. Situations are getting  hopeless and there'll be more troubles along the way. And then believe... Believe your statements. Believe that everything is gloomy… and surely within minutes you’d likely be the most unhappy person in the world!


However, he said that anyone can always choose the opposite. Instead of seeing the ’negatives’,   one has the power to say…. 

‘Things will be going well’ 
‘Life is good, and I’m thankful.  There are many things to be grateful for...’ 
‘Despite the bad weather or body aches or problems, I’m choosing joy…’ 
There’ll be warmth and happiness today!

And then  believe.... Believe  your statements.

That was what I did...
I guess  things didn't change right away but I felt better.
(Plus  I was able to finish these graphic representations : )




Rainy Days

On this  particularly stormy day, I’ve decided to create this comics strip. A simple graphic reminder  for everyone to keep the 'sunshine' in us despite of the bad weather condition.

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope. ~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you. ~Walt Whitman 

Typhoons will come and go. But the real storm is in your mind. Dispel the storms in your mind. It maybe stormy on the outside but it shouldn’t be stormy on the inside. ~Bo Sanchez
