Your most important choice

What is the one thing that would truly make you happy? It might seem like an easy question when your mind immediately yells out 'money' or 'a better job'. But deep down what are you seeking?

Could it be peace of mind?

After all, feeling happy is a mental thing. In fact feeling anything is a mind thing sparked by our response to events around us and the thoughts we think.

It begins with accepting yourself, your life, and your circumstances. Then making choices to focus on the positive, your hopes and dreams and refusing to entertain fearful thoughts. Back that up with positive action to keep you busy working toward what you want rather than trying to avoid what you don't want.

During this life you'll have many hard days - long work days, sleepless nights, worrying about the future, etc. Where you put your focus is your most important choice. This week, think about the joys of your life. Find creative ways to enjoy the little bumps in the road.
