“The best way to forget the bad things in life is to learn to remember the good things.”

If you feel that your day is lacking joy and happiness, what can you do? You might start by counting your blessings. What are you truly grateful for, and how does that make you feel?
.
True happiness comes from being grateful for what we have and from giving. Could you give a smile to everyone who makes eye contact with you? Could you give some encouragement to someone who is feeling discouraged? When you become a source of happiness for others, you are giving. There is happiness in giving.
.
Stop and think of as many things as you can that you are thankful for right now…. have a try. If you want to feel happy, try on an attitude of gratitude for a change in your mood, your outlook and you.
.
Pause and ask yourself what are the things you are grateful for today. Decide to appreciate the good in your life, you will be surprised at how much you find.

“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.”
Marianne Williamson
