Well today is going to be another good day. Why? Once again I've decided to make it a good day, like many decisions I make in a day if something comes up that threatens to ruin it I don't allow it, I start talking to myself just like I did about being happy about quittimng cigarettes and so far it's worked like a charm.
There are all kind of things that people THINK make them happy,,, ever notice when you trade or buy a car how happy you are? yes we are till about that 3rd car note rolls around then we are not nearly so happy as we were the first day. Life lesson, it's not things. I had an opportunity once at a bunch of money,, it made some thing s easier but for the most part the relationship I was in was miserable,, another life lesson, I thought boy if I could ever be in the position that I could write a check for any amount I'd have it made,, well got there , got over it and it didn't fix everything like I thought.A bigger house might make me happy,, then I griped about cleaning it, and so on and so on it goes. No I finally figured out that it was entirely up to me each and everyday to decide I was going to be happy and not allow worry and bitterness and strife into my life, now I'm not saying that I don't feel bad when death , sickness and things come along that I can't help, sure I feel all the normal emotions people feel, I just don't go hunting up misery and strife. I notice some of the people at work all on cells and talking with people because they're so afraid they're going to miss something, hunting some strife instaed of concentrating on the task at hand, not finding any joy in their work,, maybe I'm old fashion but I enjoy my work and I always havehad a good time on the job because after all, you spend a big part of life on the job.
Well I've rambled long enough, I applied all this I've talked about to quitting smoking, and it worked, I'm not miserable and gritting my teeth everyday wanting one, I'm actually very ,very, happy.
Talk to yourself, don't allow negative people in ,, and believe me they want company, decide for yourself how you are going to feel each day, and if you want something so bad you can taste it ,like a relationship for example, be sure , because before long you'll find yourself complaining about that even tho you thought you wanted it,,, If You ALLOW it, you can be happy, with a little effort, I promise.
As ever rambling,,,James,,, 171 Happy Nicotine/Smoke Free Days,, After 2 packs a day for 36 years.
