It’s amazing how many people go through life in a cranky mood. I was in the elevator earlier this morning smiling and chatting away with people and they just looked at me and asked if I had too much coffee. It’s sad that in this day and age people are more surprised if you’re smiling than they would be if you’re frowning.
I’ve gone through most of my life as a happy person. Even when life seems to be throwing everything it’s got at you, keep a positive attitude and things will work out. I’ve been with people that have that whole “the world is out to get me” attitude…and you know what? They were right. It’s as if it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. With as much negative energy as they were holding onto and sending out, it’s only natural that they attracted more negativity in their lives. Yet, when you’ve got that healthy attitude, you attract more healthy attitudes and suddenly you find yourself surrounded by laughter, optimism, and people who support you in everything you do.
Life isn’t perfect…but when you smile as you go through your business, it can seem like it’s the most perfect, effortless, joyous thing around. Smile more…think about the good things you’ve got instead of dwelling on the bad. You’ll be surprised at how the universe will work its magic to make sure things work out to bring more good things to you.
