Turning negativity into positivity
49We are all different
Whenever I see dark skies
I know it's a fact there is sun above them
Whenever I feel like life is too challenging
I remember that tomorrow is a new beginning
Whenever I think a negative thought
I remember I am in charge of my thoughts and I can think the opposite
Whenever I feel bad
I remember it is my thoughts that make me feel this way
Whenever I think ill of someone
I remember something nice about them
Whenever I think life is too hard
I remember that someone else is doing it harder
Whenever I think I hate my job
I remember that I am lucky to have a job
Whenever I whinge about someone who voices their opinion
I remember I am lucky I live in a country where we can voice our opinion
Whenever I complain about having to stand on my feet all day
I remember I am lucky I can stand on my feet all day
Whenever I get angry sitting in a traffic jam
I remember I am lucky I own a car
Whenever I bitch about someone else
I remember I am not perfect....but I am trying to be
Whenever I complain about my teenagers
I remember I was one of those once
I remember that -
I have my freedom
I am unique
I breathe
I see
I hear
I touch
I smell
I feel
I have food
I can walk
I can speak my mind
I have water
I have electricity
I have warmth
I have a bed
I have a computer
I have the ability to communicate
I have my individuality
I am special
I have another day to experience life
I have been loved and I have loved
I have the power to seize every opportunity given to me
No one ever has or will ever be ME!
......and if I don't have all of the above, I have some of the above and for that, I am grateful! Thank you.
Tomorrow might be the last day of my life and I want to leave knowing I have lived life to the fullest. I have been grateful for every day I experience being alive. I have not let any opportunities pass me by. I have faced my fears. I have chosen not to worry about what others think of me. I have done my best. I have embraced love. I never put material things before the people I love. I gave it my best shot!

Thank you richtwf - without a doubt training our thoughts to think more of gratitude helps bring a calmness and peace into our lives.

Very useful hub indeed with a wonderful message to share to all of us. Something we all need to remember to do - to really take control of our thoughts and to learn to see what we have in our lives now that we can truly be grateful for. Cheers for sharing!
