I have so many beautiful reasons to be happy that I could never waste my time looking at the negative. My eyes are fixed on the things that add life to me and my mind is anchored on valuable thoughts. There is a song of thanksgiving on my lips.
I release myself from concerned thoughts of things beyond my control. Temporary situations cannot consume me because I know they will not last. Instead, I focus on my blessings.
My family is the rock under my feet that will never be removed. They are the most constant force in my life. Their love is unwavering. I know I am loved regardless of whether I fail or succeed. When I think of this, I am filled with joy.
Whenever I feel negativity creeping close to me, I speak to my heart. I remind myself of all the things I have going for me, and the things I look forward to achieving in the future.
Regardless of how bad or good yesterday was, today the sun will rise. Every morning, the sun rises as a reminder from heaven of the gifts we are given each and every day.
When I look at the sun, I am reminded that life happens one day at a time. This thought prompts me to release my inhibitions and allows me to focus on the things that matter.
