Habit of mind

Posted on April 23, 2009 | No Comments

I deserve to be happy and successful.

I have a positive outlook in life. But I was not born that way. I was once a negative thinker. I often anticipate the worse in every given situation. I worry a lot, I feel negative emotions more often than not.

But then, I realized that every little thing happening to us is the by-product of our reactions to every given situation.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.
-Norman Vincent Peale

Since then, I make it a point to check my reaction, alter it if I can in a positive way.
