Keep your spirit and cheer up with a positive thought for the day, every day!
Weve all met those grumpy souls, people who always seem to the worst of a situation. In this life, youve got to be able to laugh once in a while, even if only at the sometimes seeming absurdities that fall everyones way. You need to cultivate a positive outlook on life. Otherwise, you end up like the grumpy guy. A grouch thats no fun!
Just like your Mama probably told you, no matter how terrible things seem to be, theres always someone whos worse off. Therefore, you always automatically have a positive thought for the day! The real question is, do you take advantage of the fact, to the betterment of you and those around you?
If you tend towards the Eeyore outlook, take a few minutes and search out some of the many websites which have a positive thought for the day, all picked out and waiting for you to gather and give a little thought to throughout the day. Some sites will actually send a positive thought for the day right to your email, with no effort on your part other than signing up for it and then reading it. What could be easier?
So lets say your email produced a positive thought for the day youve already contemplated? What, are there no others left? You just put on your thinking cap. Within a minute or two, something should come to mind. Sometimes, the simplest of positive thoughts can be thought provoking indeed. For example, you may have purchased a bag of the most heavenly coffee from a sustainable source. So whats so great about that, says Mr. or Ms. Grouch?
Youve spread a little good in the whole scheme of things. Less rainforest is being destroyed and that coffee grower in a undoubtedly poor region of the world is better able to feed his family. Such a simple positive thought for the day can increase your awareness, spur you on to more positive acts and strengthen your compassion. You have a tasty cup of Joe, too.
True, some days are better than others. So much so, that there are days when youve really got to reach for that positive thought for the day. If youre really fresh out of positive thoughts, go for a joke of the day. Maybe the joke of the day will make you laugh. Perhaps you recall the, how many morons does it take to screw in a light bulb, joke. Three. One to hold the light bulb and two to turn the ladder. Wow, Im glad Im not that guy! See? At least you can screw in a light bulb! A positive thought. Theyre everywhere.
