Your mind is very tricky. It can tell you wonderful things are on the way, but it can also make you believe the worst is coming. The great thing about your mind, is that you can control it and the thoughts that come from it. Instead of thinking taxing thoughts or thoughts that will swing your mood into a negative pattern of thinking, begin to look at the positive in everything. Anyone can think or see the negatives in everything, that is the easy thing to do and truly takes no effort whatsoever. The effort comes when you start to turn those negatives into positives and the bad into good. Every time your mind tries to tell you something is bad, you must act immediately, cast it away, and replace it with a good thought. I know it can be done because my mind was  the white water rapids of negativity. I always said it is easier said than done, I always thought that negativity clung to me like a sock out of the dryer, but I soon, after many attempts, finally discovered that yes, it is easy and can be done!

Today, start your mind off in a positive direction and never look at that proverbial glass as half full  but instead, look at it overflowing with grandeur. Create happiness where there is sadness, peace where there is strife, and love where there is resentment or hate….

Anything can be done, that is a fact. The question you need to ask yourself is despite what your circumstances may be today, despite the turmoil you and your life are in right now,  are you willing to give the effort to see the good? I hope so because on the other side of that bad you continuously and seemingly seem to follow, lies a wonderful and beautiful way to live….

Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!
