My last few days have been a stretch. And by a stretch I mean every last piece of me pains with trying to be happy. Fake it until you mean it, right? I think not. I do mean it. When I am happy, you can tell. When I'm not, you can definitely tell. But over the last few days my thoughts have been consumed with try-to-be-happy thoughts. What is good about this? This person may be annoying right now, but they're probably sweet, right? Be happy. Be happy. Be happy. Stop frowning. Don't get angry because someone has a runny nose and won't blow it and is disrupting your test. BE. HAPPY. Boy..... Let me tell you... The hardest part about this is my third goal. (3. Turn negative things into positive things!)
Oh boy oh boy. I am trying to work through that right now. !!!
I feel a slight change and I am catching myself more and more each day. (It's only been two days, but hey! it's improvement.)
One thing I noticed about myself is that I don't try to see the good in everyone. I automatically go to the bad. I really, really want that to change. It'll take work but I can do it.
The biggest thing I am starting to feel is an increase in the presence of the Spirit in my life. I have felt prompted to do things and I don't question it. I know that by listening, I will grow and be blessed and HAPPY! Truly happy. I will win at life with the help of faith, hope, love, and knowing the truth of my Saviour.
Phew. I wipe my brow, exhausted from all of this happy. But soon, I won't be trying. I will be.
I will be positive. I will be cheery. I will be full of love for everyone. I will be a better me.
That's all I want.
