"No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit"-Helen Keller
It's easy to surrender to emotional depression. It's easy to be pessimistic about tomorrow when today seems so bleak.
I'ts time to put our thoughts of lack behind us. It's time for us to discover the secrets of the stars, to sail to an uncharted land, to open up heaven wherever our spirits can soar. But first we will have to make changes, and lasting changes dont happen overnight. Lasting change happens in infinitesimal increments: a day, an hour, a minute, a heartbeat of time. and the change I'm encouranging you to make is fundamental. Take a deep breath. We're going to learn to become optimists.
Now, be reassured. Optimism, like a happiness habit, can be learned. Start today with two expiriments.
1. breathing-slow your breathing down and pay attention to it. Slow and deep in, slow and steady out. every time you think of it. Know that it is calming your mind for clarity, and calming your body as well.
2. smile at everyone you meet.
expect that something good is going to happen to you no matter what happened yesterday. Realize that the past NO LONGER HOLDS YOU CAPTIVE. IT CAN ONLY HURT YOU IF YOU HOLD ON TO IT. Let it go. A simply abundant world awaits.
may Love and Peace be yours,
Elle
