All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality.
~Earl Nightingale
This is also true for shifting your thoughts from being a negative being to a positive being! Work on it one thought at a time. Shift yourself and begin to shift the world!

Purpose equals GLADNESS

Power of One

2009-05-17T04:52:00.000-07:00

Attitude … and “The Power of One"

Getting the best from yourself and others all starts with one: one thought … one word … one action.

“One” is the first note in orchestrating the personal attitude that shapes and directs your life – and impacts the members of your team. Contrary to the lyrics from a classic rock song, one is not the loneliest number. It’s the most important one!

Your thoughts, words, and actions are like individual notes that work in concert to create the power of one person – YOU – to make a difference. You can harness your “power of one” if you simply:

Catch one negative thought and turn it into a positive one;
Think of one thing for which you are grateful at the beginning of each day;
Say one “Fantastic!” when a friend or team member asks how you are doing;
Assume the best in one upcoming situation;
Keep on moving one more time when you experience adversity;
Help one friend or colleague in a time of need – and take pride in it.

Many people used to feel that one vote in an election couldn’t really make a difference. Well, recent political elections that have been decided by razor thin margins have proven them wrong. A single
act can make a difference … it can create a ripple effect felt many miles and people away. So, ask yourself: What’s one thing I can do today that will make a positive difference in my attitude? Then DO IT!
Repeat that process every day and your life will improve – and so will the lives of the people you lead. Attitudes are truly powerful … and they’re contagious!

As A Man Thinketh

2009-02-23T06:16:00.000-08:00

"To live continually in thoughts of ill will, cynicism, suspicion, and envy, is to be confined in a self-made prison hole. But to think well of all, to be cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all --- such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven; and to dwell day by day in thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to their possessor."

Rejoicing

2009-01-15T06:51:00.000-08:00

When I think of ways to be Happy, it always comes back to being thankful for what we are blessed with.
The smallest thing...the roof over our head, the car in the driveway or the bus on the corner.
Isn't it all a matter of contemplating gratitude s in our life...

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
-- Epictetus

2009-01-07T04:13:00.000-08:00

The secret of making something work in your lives is, first of all, the deep desire to make it work; then the faith and belief that it can work; then to hold that clear definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out step by step, without one doubt or disbelief.

—Eileen Caddy

Questions to live by...

2009-01-06T04:57:00.000-08:00

This morning as I pondered life I came upon some questions to ask myself,
to ask yourself.

*I am my most joyful when...

*I am most @ peace when...

*I feel most balanced when...

To sit and contemplate these answers, will for sure, bring you to a happier space.

Smile, pass it on...

At this time of year, when the sun is most hidden, the holiday of Hanukkah celebrates the rays of hope and light... At such times, we yearn for the sun, and the light and warmth that it provides. Often, it is through simple and unrecognized miracles that we are able to feel the warmth of hope and light.

As you give love out, it's received and reciprocated--and it grows. That's the beauty of it. Love is an energy. You can feed it to people, and they in turn feed it to others, and eventually it comes back.

Married love, enduring through a thousand vicissitudes, seems to me the most beautiful of miracles, even if the most common.

What is Butt dust???

2008-09-05T09:49:00.000-07:00

What, you ask, is 'Butt dust?' Read on and you'll discover the joy in it!These have to be original and genuine. No adult is this creative!!

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby s ister. After a whi le he asked: 'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?'

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'

BRITTANY(age 4) had an ear ache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'

DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

CLINTON(age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in it?'

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man namedLotwas warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.' Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'

The Sermon:I think this Mom will never forget this particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Make sure you pass this one on and spread the smiles....

The proposition that optimism leads to success is not just a theory,
it’s a researched-based fact. Martin Seligman, a psychologist at
the University of Pennsylvania, has proven that optimists are more
successful than equally talented pessimists – in business, education,
sports, and politics.
- Eric Harvey

This gives me hope because I may not have been born with the most talent, but I
sure can strive to be the most OPTIMISTIC!*****

Question of the day...

2008-08-18T09:00:00.000-07:00

HAVE YOU SPREAD HAPPY TODAY???

'Move it along'

2008-08-13T06:39:00.000-07:00

I have come to a realization that has made me shall I say...Happy.
There's a lot in the news lately about clutter and stuff and having too much of it. Even in Oprah's mag 'O' there is an article about freeing yourself of it and how to go about it. Personally, I can't stand to have too much clutter around, it saps my energy.

So my realization is 'move it along'. The world has become my storage unit. There are others out there who may need your stuff and need it now. So take joy in giving. And if for some strange reason you need it again…check the local Curb Alerts. I am sure you’ll be able to pick one up again.

The way to find out about Happy

2008-02-18T07:20:00.000-08:00

“The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy – not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called following your bliss.” Joseph Campbell

Appreciate

2008-02-07T11:52:00.000-08:00

My friend Carrie talks often about "what is appreciated, appreciates". It is true for kindness and fun and silliness and happiness and smiles too.

I'm working in a cafe today and the barrista behind the counter is just about the happiest coffee worker I've ever seen. He is smiling and friendly and helpful and genuinely seems like he's enjoying his time spent making cappucinos and doling out sandwiches. Each interaction he is chatty and funny and each person walks away from the counter feeling happier than they were before they stepped up to the counter to order. Even one guy, who walked in with a bit of angry fire in his eyes, and stared down the barrista because his receipt was taking a little too long, left feeling a little bit better about his day because, while he was fuming and snorting about how long it was taking, the barrista just looked at him, without saying a word, and smiled, smiled, smiled. Until finally the angry dude just had to smile too and he was genuinely appreciative for having his anger recognized and diffused.

So, try it - from both points of view. Appreciate what happy vibes others are sending your way and appreciate others who might need a little TLC to help get them through the day.

Happy's Birthday

2008-01-29T15:26:00.000-08:00

May 7, 2007 is Happy's birthday. That's when he came into being ya know. Actually he was probably always there, he just needed someone to expose him. Someone to say, hey I will help spread the word that you exist. That's why Happy's Campaign began. To spread the word that he exists. That yes, Happiness is alive and well and we are going to spread it big time.
So go Campaign for Happy today and go smile at someone.

It's true what they say...

2008-01-28T18:47:00.000-08:00

that you can "spread sunshine all over the place, when you put on a happy face!" It's a corny song lyric sure but if you apply it to your daily life you will see why it was made into a song in the first place - it actually works!

Try it next time you're at work or walking through your neighborhood or even browsing the aisles of your local grocery store. You will see that when you walk along greeting each person you pass with a smile and a nod - a nod which basically says, "I see you and I recognize you as another person traveling these same roads", then that smile and nod will not only come back at you, it will be spread to the next one that person encounters and so on and so on and so on and so on. Until sunshine, happiness, is literally spread all over the place.

It can't hurt to try.
