Spring Cleaning...your soul that is...
I often think about the influences that others have on my mental well being.
I have seen a lot in the media lately about the company that you keep, and the
effect that it has on your own demeanor.
When you surround yourself with happy people, who are always kind, generous
with those around them, people who would love nothing better than to see you
smile, how do you feel when you leave situations involving them, great,
right. You feel more positive, like you could take on the world and
anything is possible.
Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. When you are bombarded with
negative comments, dismal thoughts and undesirable behaviour, I don't know
about you, but, I feel angry, as though the world is against me, and I
certainly don't feel as though I can conquer the world, there is a black cloud
that covers everything I touch, see and feel.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I know we cannot be happy all of the time. Life is a tough journey and we all have our
moments, but wouldn’t those rough times be more tolerable, with a more positive
outlook, a cheerleader in your court to help you weather these times with a bit
of humour and sometimes a kick in the buttski.
Well, I am going to attempt to smile more, to try and brighten the lives of
those around me, to be a bit less b*tc*y (what, we all are) and help others to
see their potential, so that they can also spread their happy for those around
them.
Plato is quoted as saying "Be
kind, for everyone
you meet is fighting a hard battle."
James M. Barrie - the author of "Peter Pan" said
"Be kinder than necessary."
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight:
"Always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary"
James M. Barrie
Come on….let’s do this.
Let’s start a
happiness revolution,
every little bit helps.
It's so important to make someone happy
Start with Yourself!!

ReplyDeleteWonderful way to live! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHappy is important. I'm a Christian, and as such, I try to remember this is the day that The Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Dwelling on the negative only produces that which is not profitable to you or to others. I have turned off the news, and my days are going better.
