Ever since I made up my mind to let go of dwelling on non-essentials that didn’t further my existence and probably only contributed to making a miserable day, I found more peace.
Ever since I chose to make conscious, deliberate efforts to apply positive affirmations and frame of mind to my days, it only got better.
Yes, it is possible to live a purpose-driven life.
Yes, happiness is a deliberate choice.
Yes, each day can be as best as we can make it all things being equal.
Of course there are things that are out of our control, like nature and other people’s actions, but we run our own workshop of our minds and home.
Indeed, there are days that are a bit off, but, I’ve observed that once you get into the habit of positive thoughts and living, such moods and days barely last because your mind fights to switch to the frame that works best for it.
Your days are as good as you make them. Be happy not by trying to convince others, but by being yourself and the best that you can be.

I love the idea of making “today your favorite of the year” hard to do in a busy office when you’re staring at tedious tasks that you’d rather set aside so you can write but the idea appeals to me.

I know right. It’s not easy, but it’s more of a mindset thing. Maybe the more you think of it, the more in tune you get with it 🙂

Positive affirmations certainly help set the tone for the day. I never did mention this on my blog but after many months of battling in court a judge finally decided that enough was enough and the original ruling remains. Being thankful and staying positive was a tremendous factor in surviving such a negative and strife-filled predicament.
