DEALING WITH NEGATIVE SITUATIONS.......

When there is a negative situation that you cannot change, accept it and focus your thoughts and energy elsewhere.

When there is a pain that will not go away, overwhelm it with an even greater amount of joy.

       HAVE THE COURAGE TO CHANGE WHAT YOU CAN, SERENITY TO  ACCEPT WHAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. COMMON SENSE IN AN UNCOMMON DEGREE IS WISDOM.  

It serves no useful purpose to get mired in despair over things you cannot control.

It makes much more sense to do the very best, to achieve the very most, with those things you do control.

You can choose where to focus your energy and attention.

Focus on those areas where you can have a powerful positive impact.

Yes, it can be easy to get caught up in the negativity of the moment.

Yet it also can be surprisingly easy to shift your focus toward the positive, productive things you can do.

    UNHAPPINESS IS NOT KNOWING WHAT WE WANT AND KILLING OURSELVES TO GET IT. HAPPINESS IS A CONSCIOUS CHOICE, NOT AN AUTOMATIC RESPONSE. YOU CANNOT PREVENT THE BIRDS OF SADNESS FLYING OVER YOUR HEAD, BUT YOU CAN PREVENT THEM FROM NESTING IN YOUR HAIR. KEEP YOURSELF BUSY. A BUSY PERSON NEVER HAS TIME TO BE UNHAPPY. YOU SIMPLY CANNOT BE UNHAPPY UNLESS YOU HAVE DECIDED TO BE UNHAPPY. MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE HAPPY. DISCOVER AND KNOW JOYS IN THE SMALLEST AND THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT THINGS. LEARN TO FIND PLEASURE IN SIMPLE THINGS.

NO ONE IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR HAPPINESS EXCEPT YOU. MOST PEOPLE WOULD RATHER BE CERTAIN THEY ARE MISERABLE, THAN RISK BEING HAPPY. YOU ARE NEVER OBLIGATED TO BE MISERABLE. NOBODY REALLY CARES IF YOU ARE MISERABLE.  SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE HAPPY. 

If you really want to contribute to life, set your sights on the value you're able to create. 

Don't despair over the darkness that is beyond your control.

 Instead, shine your own light so brightly that the darkness is overwhelmed. 

LIFE IS NOT LIVED IN THE TOMB OF THE DEAD MOMENTS OF THE PAST, NOR IN THE WOMB OF THE UNBORN MOMENTS OF THE FUTURE. LIFE IS LIVED DYNAMICALLY IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. LIVE IN THE NOW AND ENJOY THE PRESENT MOMENT. WE CANNOT CHANGE A SINGLE MOMENT OF OUR PAST. SO MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR PAST SO THAT IT DOESN’T MESS-UP THE PRESENT. LIVING IN THE PRESENT MEANS CONSCIOUS ACTION NOT MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.
