Have you ever noticed...

That the one thing or the many things that bug us, only do so when we
are in a bad mood?

That's because, we have allowed ourselves to be in a bad mood, and what
we then see, or pick up on, is simply in alignment with our thoughts
or emotion.

What we think about and how we think, actually becomes a magnet of what
we see, as it is what we are focusing on. We are simply satisfying our reality of what is in our heads.

Thinking
poorly begets things that justify our thinking, and in thinking
positively, we see the positive around us.

So if things keep bugging us, we need to change our thinking and they
will "go away".

Whatever happens...

Control the outcome?

Yet since the only thing we control is ourselves, maybe we can be a bit
more specific and say...control the outcome and how it effects us.

Want to control the outcome in the stock market and not have it effect
us? Don't play.

Want to control the outcome of our friends that keep borrowing money? Don't lend.

Want to control the outcome and have everything to go smoothly? It
won't...so we go smoothly.

Any game we choose to be in, contains inherent risks, and if we want to
control the outcome, stay out of the game, otherwise the outcome will
effect us, one way or another - but sometimes the risk is worth the
reward.

Hard work, or "smart" work spotlights...

The character of people.

Some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't
turn up at all.

We've all most likely been part of one of the 3 above, at least some
time in our lives, but it's what we do consistently...that shows our
character.

Even the people we know can easily be put into one of the 3
categories, because of what they do and how they act, just like we can be put
in a category as well.

Which category would you be put into?

A smile...

Can help bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like us.

A smile can also help us reinforce our subconscious pathways and all
the positive physiological effects it brings about.

A smile is also a great way to make someone feel special..."Have you
ever entered a party or event and didn't recognize anyone...
then a smile welcomes you and you suddenly feel special?

The best thing we can wear, that helps us and others...is a smile.

Every Journey...

Has to start somewhere.

Whether the journey it is a camping trip, expedition, or our life.

Planning our journey, for whatever we have chosen, starts with us, and
has no bearing of where we were before, in the past, with the exception
of experience and what we have already learned which can help to guide
us safely to where we want to go.

So we must not let our past dictate the journeys we choose, but just be
an aid, and let our experiences help us for our future ones.
