Live it
If you have something to say, say it! If you see that something must be done, do it. If you have an idea, pursue it. If you see a possibility, explore it. If you have a dream, live it!

Why do you think these things come to you? For you to ignore them? No, of course not. The reason you can see what must be done is because you're the one who can do it. The reason you have a dream is because you're the person who can live it.

Would you buy a loaf of bread and never eat it? Would you build a house and never live in it? Life comes to you in abundance every moment of every day, and it speeds away from you just as fast. Use it while you have it. That means right now!

Speak your mind. Make a difference. Live life as you envision it. Your possibilities are nothing short of astounding, and you know it. What a waste it would be to hold back even for a minute. Stand up, go forward. Fill each of your days with joy and meaning.

interesting thoughts today den! have a fantastic day!

Positive alternatives
Rather than being annoyed, be amused. Instead of getting angry, become curious. In place of envy, feel admiration. In place of worry, take action. In place of doubt, have faith.

Negative energy is just positive energy that's flowing in the opposite direction. There's no need to fight or run away from that negative energy. All you need to do is change its direction.

The more negative you are, the more positive you can be. An automobile that can travel 70 miles per hour to the east can also travel just as fast when going west. But first, someone must turn it around.

When you sense yourself becoming negative, stop and consider what it would mean to apply that negative energy in the opposite direction.

Turn your sadness into caring. Transform your complaints into useful suggestions. Change your bitterness into determination. The energy is already there. All you need to do is change its direction.

Good points - although it does take some mental effort to change the direction of the emotional energy, it is worth it though.

Someone had a dream
The car you drive was designed and built because someone had a dream. The highway on which you travel is there because someone had a dream. The telephone you talk on and the worldwide network to which it is connected, was constructed because someone had a dream. Achievement begins with a dream.

Yet there are many, many dreams which wither and die without ever coming to pass. We will never know the benefits which they could have brought. Great accomplishments come about not only because someone dreamed of them, but also because someone believed in the dream enough to walk the long, hard road of making that dream a reality.

It takes a dream. And then it takes more than a dream. What is yours? And what are you doing about it? Stop and think for a moment about all the great things that have ever been achieved. Someone had a dream. Someone just like you. The world is filled with possibilities today. Take your pick, and then make it happen.

[Doc.Happy]

dreams, interesting post Den. everybody has different degrees of dreams, some great and some small and simple. if one is doesnt think they can make the big ones come true, start with the small and then work your way up! the momentum builds!

i am very blessed to be living my dream

Something to admire
Whatever you find in others, becomes a part of you. When you criticize and find fault in someone, it only serves to bring you down. How could you possibly profit from embracing and expanding the negative?

When you admire someone, you share in their accomplishment. The things you admire in others will grow strong within yourself. The respect you give to others will bring more respect to you. The love in your life will grow to the extent that you give it away.

Your thoughts determine the quality of your life, so why would you want to focus them on the shortcomings of others? Instead, look for ways to admire and respect the very best in the people around you. That will bring out the best in you.

[righter]

^^^This! Definitely.

Other people are my mirrors. I can focus on the bad or the good, but it's all reflection. Can't see what you don't have.

[Doc.Happy]

it took me a long time to get this figured out, it is so against human nature. it is something that i still struggle with but have done much better and it does make a huge difference! when one is always looking for what is wrong with someone else the negative energy you store up is HORRIBLE! it is heavy and depressing and makes us miserable! but to see the good, now that is a great thing and it lift up those around us and it lifts up ourselves!

The big picture
If you're letting the little things get to you, perhaps the big things aren't compelling enough. When your focus and direction are feeble and ill-defined, the smallest, most trivial distraction -- whether it is positive or negative -- can swirl you around like a feather in the wind.

Where are you headed? What do you intend to accomplish? What undeniable purpose is pushing you forward? Answer these questions with confidence and clarity, and there's almost nothing that can stop you.

It's impossible to be focused, if there's nothing to focus upon. Yet when the goal is clearly visualized and meaningful enough to you, it becomes almost impossible to ignore. With a destination that is clear and compelling enough, you'll do whatever it takes to find your way there.

how many times we let ourselves get side tracked by the little things. we get so caught up in some little rock in the road that we lose sight of the fact that there is a lot of space to go around it and continue on our journey!

Excellent post and something I needed to read. Everything has been getting under my skin the last couple of days and none of it really matters. I need to calm down and refocus it seems what does matter.

Don't sell yourself short
Remember as you go through the day that you are more than just a number in someone's computer, more than just a dispensable part of the system. You are a living, breathing person, completely unique in all of history.

You can think and reason. You can make intelligent decisions. You can create. You can explore. You can seek the truth and find joy in the beauty around you. You can give your love and compassion to others. You can change things that anger or frustrate you. You can make a difference in your life and the lives of others.

You are alive with possibilities, no matter what has happened to you in the past, no matter what other people think or say about you, no matter what your situation. There is something you can do today that will continue to fulfill the special, priceless bundle of possibilities that is you.

There is more to you than anyone could possibly imagine. Do all you can to let that shine through.

[Doc.Happy]

i have often let what other think that i am change who i am. it is a horrible way to live! be true to yourself!

Create
Creativity does not get used up. In fact, the more you exercise your creativity, the more you have of it. Creativity feeds upon itself. What may at first seem like a small, insignificant idea, can grow into something substantial when you let the creativity continue to flow.

A magnificent painting begins with a single brush stroke, creatively applied. One creative act leads to another, and soon you have a masterpiece. We often imagine creativity as being on a grand scale, and yet it is in the grainy texture of life that true creativity occurs.

Anyone, anywhere can be creative. It's just a matter of opening the mind, stepping outside the comfortable box of your limitations, then putting into form and action the original thoughts which come to you.

Create, and then create again. Allow your creativity to build upon its own energy, into something of unique value and beauty.

[Doc.Happy]

i think creativity is something that is developed in us as children. unfortunately most parents dont let their kids creativity develop because they let them sit in front of the TV or in front of the video games and they never have to go and just use their imagination and develop their creativity!

Practice
Whatever you practice, you will become skilled at doing. Winning athletes practice day after day, month after month, to hone their skills. So do the best musicians, actors, salespeople, airline pilots, preachers, photographers, designers -- the list goes on and on.

What do you practice every day? Do you practice positive, success-oriented skills and actions? Or do you practice such skills as making excuses, getting angry, complaining, assigning blame, and procrastinating.

Remember, the more you practice, the more skilled you become. Every moment, you increase your experience in some area. The more you practice anything, the more it becomes a part of you. So be aware of what you practice each day, each moment. Make sure that what you practice, is what you want to become.

[Doc.Happy]

practice makes perfect i think people need to practice more at being happy

have a fantastic day den!

Persist now
Persistence will win over just about any advantage. The longer you persist, the closer you are to winning. Even when you are constantly beaten back, even when the road is steep and strewn with giant boulders, keep going.

The value of your accomplishment increases with every difficulty you encounter on the way to it. And you must persist in order to realize that value. Whatever it takes, keep going. Every moment you persist builds equity in your dream.

The glory, the joy, the fulfillment of life come from persistence through the troubles, the frustrations and the obstacles. You already know that. You've experienced it before. And now, today, is yet another opportunity to keep going, to persist through whatever may come.

It's the best opportunity you could possibly imagine. So make the most of it. Keep going. Persist in your efforts. And fulfill your own incredible possibilities.

[Doc.Happy]

good post den. it is easy to give up when things dont go as we think or as we plan. but if everything came easy, where would the satisfaction be?? it is the struggle that makes the acheivement great!

Positive thoughts

It is not easy to think positive thoughts when the world around you appears to be so negative. In fact, it can be as difficult as anything you’ve ever done.

However, it is absolutely possible to fill your mind with positive thoughts no matter what your circumstances. Doing so empowers you like nothing else can.

To think positively is to align yourself with the truth that you’re immersed in a universe of limitless, growing abundance. To think positively is to graciously accept that your life is destined for meaningful and unique fulfillment.

Instead of placing a judgment on your situation, apply your most positive intentions to that situation. Instead of seeing the world as negative, see yourself as a powerful agent of the positive possibilities.

If you find yourself giving in to negativity, you are selling yourself short. The moment you feel the slightest twinge of a negative thought, stop and remind yourself how powerful you are.

Do the disciplined, intentional work to keep your thoughts positive. Because whatever you most consistently think, is where your life will surely and steadily go.

— Ralph Marston

^^^ Especially this. I have been trying to see the positive in everything lately. Especially when interacting with others, and the way I look at things in my life.

[Doc.Happy]

the worst thing about the negative view, it makes one feel miserable!!! the more negative one chooses to see, the more negative ones whole life becomes. it is like everything revolves around picking out the bad. i try very hard now to look for the positive in things. i am stilll working on it but way better at it than i used to be. it is like picking beautiful flowers instead of weeds. the effort is the same, the results completely different!

Live as it comes
Too often we give in to the temptation to push the fast forward button, to skip ahead to the next page before we've read the one we're on. As if jumping ahead will somehow make things better, or easier, or more exciting.

The beauty and the joy of life come in living it through. Skipping ahead or jumping back will serve only to cheat you out of the magnificent now.

Live life as it comes. Really live, each moment at a time. String them together, one after the other. Listen to the whole symphony from beginning to end, and savor each passage. Watch the shadows change as the sun rises in the east and works its way across the sky each day. Feel the wind against your face as it grows cooler and then warm.

Take the time to listen, to know, to love those around you. What a beautiful gift is all of creation and the awareness that you have of it. Drink in every particle.

[Doc.Happy]

i kind of like skipping ahead it often comes down to a patience thing, im too impatient and therefore i want to get to the next step, next project, next day, next whatever. not sure i will ever get this completely in control but i can say as i get older, i have learned to slow down and appreciate things a little more, so maybe there is hope for me
