Monday Musings:You Have the Choice in Every Moment!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

We have often observed that for many, conditions dictate how they feel.  In other words, how can one be happy, if those around them are not.  

 

For many, the pandemic has become the source of their unhappiness.  They will tell you, "when this goes away, we will be happy!" And we know, that there is always another condition that will give someone a reason to be unhappy.  

 

And there is plenty of unhappiness available, just turn on the news.  They have an abundance of news to feed someone's unhappiness.

 

"Being happy is the cornerstone of all that you are! Nothing is more important than that you feel good!

 

And you have absolute and utter control about that because you can choose the thought that makes you worry or the thought that makes you happy; the things that thrill you, or the things that worry you.

 

You have the choice in every moment."

~ Esther Hicks

 

Wishing everyone a great Monday and week ahead!

Brian England you are definitely a very wise person.  Moping is not allowed in our home...for more that 17 seconds.  LOL A

It is sometimes harder to choose the happy thought, but even more important in those moments.

Enjoy your Sunday!

This quote by Ralph Marston  is front and center on my desktop computer:

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you!

Good morning Alexandra. Thanks to Kathy Streib I did not miss this one. Between stimulus and response man has the power to choose. And some need to work on choosing wisely. Enjoy your day.

In today's times we need to be greatful and see our glasses 1/2 full not empty in order to find happiness. Happiness is contagious - Smile even though we are smiling through a mask....our eyes shine.

Whatever it is that is ruining your life will easily be replaced by something else to ruin your life. The one thing we really do have control over is ourselves. Adjusting your thought process can change your life!

Kat Palmiotti we have a 17 second rule to mope, and we usually can find a happy thought before it expires..And that is happy.  A

The choice to be happy some days can be very difficult, but is necessary.  Not choosing it just leads to a downward spiral.  Find happiness where you can, which lately has been the small moments with friends, family and clients.

Chris Ann Cleland having furry creatures is also great.  Petting a cat can make you feel good, and the little things that make you have create a momentum just like the reverse.  A

Some people are happy to fight and others will fight and struggle to be happy. I prefer to be the latter - always striving to be in equilibrium

Good evening Ron and Alexandra Seigel ,

So glad Kathy Streib featured your post in her "Ah-ha" moments for the week. We all have choices every day and can choose to be happy and optimistic or be a pessimist..too bad many allow external forces to control their thoughts instead of relying on within ourselves.

Blessings to you, and that is so true!  I always tell people what are you thinking about?  Because stinking thinking will make you feel just like that, but if you think about those things that are good, pure, and true, (happy thoughts) will bring on a happy face.  Congratulations on your post being featured.  Have an awesome week as well.
