Smile because it happened.”
: o ) Dr. Seuss
To understand that phrase you must learn to use it. Not just a few times but often.
It is what it is. Deal with it.
Life happens, always has and always will.
We learned this phrase at childhood when we learned not to 'cry over spilled milk'. Same thing. It is what it is. Clean it up, wipe it up and learn from what just happened.
For the spilled milk lesson, try to be more careful.
Funny thing, for the rest of life's lessons and mistakes, same answer, try to be more careful.
We can make better choices mind you but once it has happened what ever it is then we must deal with it. Clean it up, wipe it up and be more careful.
Life happens, and not always the way we want it.
Want life to happen a better safer way and just the way we want it. Stay in bed all day.
How boring would that be?
Smiles to you this day : )
The new affirmation for you and smiles as always sent your way : )
I create joy and happiness in the time that I am given. Time is shared with those I care about and I freely give my gratitude to the choices I make. Choices to laugh, love, think, share and create that which will empower my self and others. I create joy and happiness and I empowered by those creations. Love follows me daily and I cherish its attention to my daily actions.
71 words that I hope starts to change your spirit from within. The spirit that says, yes we can and we should make a difference.
Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
