Did You know that Research Says That Happiness is a Choice? Better Yet, Did You Know that Even in the Midst of Challenge Happiness IS a Choice?  

Happiness transforms us; it raises outcomes in relationships, business and health. It is fueled by HOPE! The hope that CHANGE IS POSSIBLE! 

To secure and maintain the hope that ensures us happiness, we must change our mindset and our habits. It all begins with your mind and what you think.  Choosing to think positively every day, to fill your mind with hope-filled thoughts, will create happiness because everything is connected to your mind.  
​
Even in the midst of trial, it is possible to be hopeful, to be positive, to be HAPPY! It is about not giving into the negative thoughts, but MOST importantly, it is about NOT giving up...about starting new every day. Clearing away the yuck and concentrating on the good. Making the daily CHOICE to think about the GOOD!

I know you didn't plan for things to be this way. I know that you just wanted to give love and opportunities. I know that sometimes it seems like all is lost. But you cannot deal with your hurdles by thinking, I have tried everything and nothing works, I am a bad parent, or my life is ruined. You
 have to measure how far you HAVE come, how much growth there HAS been, how equipped you ARE. You have to look forward. You have to choose to take control of your life - not settle or blame. As long as you do, your happiness is at stake. 

Believe me, it IS possible to choose what you think. It might take time to retrain yourself and to form new habits. And not everything will be fixed immediately;we all know the kind of healing some of our children need to do takes time. But with hope and happiness you are equipped to stay in it for as long as it takes!

The power of your thinking affects your words, your emotions and your daily choices. Therefore, negative thoughts = miserable days, weeks, months, life! It is time; use that power of positive thinking to transform your life! 

Start making the change NOW!

Begin to retrain your brain. Don't lift your head off of the pillow in the morning without purposefully thinking good positive thoughts. Make an intentional choice to stop along your day to think about the good, try speaking those thoughts to yourself.

Here's a little secret for you...no one can change the positive effects of this for you unless you let them! When life throws you curve balls, you might have to work harder, but you can still keep your focus. And positivity will win out!
 
Your life will be transformed!
Change IS Possible!
Hope and Happiness are YOUR CHOICE...Go for it!
