Daily Inspiration - Focus On The Joy

Focus on the joy. 

In almost any given moment, you have a choice. You can pick out "what's wrong with that picture," or you can look for what's right. As you walk into your kitchen, your first thought can be, "I hate it when my husband doesn't wipe up his crumbs," or you can think, "I love how sunny this room is." 

Negative thinking can become a well-worn habit, but it never brings peace of mind. Looking for what you like will bring you much more joy.  

Action for the day: Police your thoughts today. Whenever you lead with a negative thought, back up and start again with something positive--something joyous.
