‘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….
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.
