"Try to make at least one person happy every day.
If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word.
If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought.
Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!"
- Lawrence G. Lovasik
The secret to happiness and peace lies in the words above - and it begins with others.
When we lose ourselves in our own worries, problems, and daily challenges, it becomes even more difficult to see the forest for the trees.
Simply by shifting our focus on helping others with their daily challenges and making other people feel stronger and supported, our own problems seem to diminish and pale in comparison!
Now I know many of us are going through some hard challenges and often it is extremely difficult to escape the quicksand that comprises our grief, anxiety, fear, anger, disappointment, loss, and worry.
However, the more we can take our minds off what is troublesome to us and redirect our efforts to help others, the stronger and quicker our healing begins.
One amazing fact about our minds is that we as humans can hold only ONE thought at a time.
We cannot think of two separate thoughts at the exact same time.
If we can succeed at making sure that our one thought is positive - or at the very least NOT focused on what is troubling us, we stand a fighting chance!!!
If we don't leave any time in our day to lament and worry over our own issues, challenges, battles, and storms - instead we fill our thoughts and days with trying to help others with their storms and trials, our lives WILL improve on a daily basis!!!
It is the key to the right path!!! And it works like a charm!!
Give it a shot today.
Happy Monday - Stay Strong!!
