SHIFT. YOUR. FOCUS,


Ever noticed how those people who ALWAYS seem to complain about EVERYTHING and are never grateful seem to attract more and more misfortune to themselves?? And how conversely, those who are always happy and full of gratitude attract all the good stuff?

It’s not that the second class of people have the perfect life; smooth-sailing all the time with no bumps and bends along the way. It’s not because they are more blessed or luckier than anyone. The secret lies in ONE...simple...thing:

SHIFTING THEIR FOCUS.

Instead of counting their sorrows and being sad and depressed about what they don’t have, they focus on what they DO have and what they should be grateful for. If you decide to count your sorrows. YOU WILL FIND THEM and will have PLENTY of reasons to be miserable. But the flip side of the coin is that if you try to count your blessings, you will run out of fingers and toes to count on because they are unnumbered.

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”
