Your choice!

All you have to do, is decide… right now… to be happy!

OK, so you may want more money… choose to be happy as you find ways to increase your income.

You may not be happy with your body. Too thin? Too heavy? Not toned up enough?

Be happy as you find ways to get the body you want! It’s a choice! Your choice!

There may be many things you want… many things you don’t have…

Simply decide to be happy as you work out ways to get the things you want in life.

Go on… do it!

Decide to be happy right now… it’s your choice!

Smile… be happy right now… join me!

Set yourself a challenging target that is part of a big, big vision!

And, as you begin to have success, you’ll find that people around you will become motivated by your success and they will then help you to even further success!

You can succeed on your own, but it’s much easier with the help and support of others!

So, what chance Albion beating them this year?

In fact, the Baggies again won 1-0, with a goal from Peter Odemwingie… despite Liverpool having over 61% of the possession and having 28 shots to Albion’s 9!

Against all the odds, the Baggies succeeded… because they believed they could win. they never once gave in… throwing bodies at the ball to prevent Liverpool scoring on more than one occasion!

Never give in!

Always believe you will succeed.

And more times than not… you will!

How would you get stronger?

Simply accept that along the way, you’ll encounter some pain… some anxiety… some sadness… some failure…

All you have to do, is deal with it… learn from it… and grow!

Then move on to bigger and better things!

It is far easier to rationalize that it’s too difficult, too expensive, or too time-consuming than to accept the idea that if we are willing to work hard enough, smart enough, and long enough we can accomplish anything.

Instead of making a commitment, we make up an excuse.

If you find that you frequently invent excuses for why you didn’t do something or have a million reasons why something didn’t work out as planned, it’s time for a reality check!

S0… stop explaining and start doing!

Why?

Because you can’t change the past and there are many things that will influence the future… some of them out of your control!

That’s not to say we should forget about the past… and we certainly shouldn’t leave the future to decide itself!

You see… the past is important, but only in so much as it is a learning tool for the present and the future.

Accept that you cannot change anything from the past and you have taken control of your present…

How good does that feel?

Don’t worry, you’re not alone! I reckon most people think that way… in fact I used to think exactly the same! I believed that my happiness was determined by all sorts of external factors… money (or lack of it!)… fitness (or lack of it!)… love (or… OK enough! I think you can see where this is going!)

The thing is, there will always be something in your life that isn’t just right… that isn’t the way you want it to be. That being the case, you will always be unhappy… at least about something!

That is, if you choose to be unhappy about it!

The thing is, you can choose to be happy about everything in your life.

OK, so you’d like more money… but you don’t need it!

You may like to be fitter or thinner… but it’s not essential!

You may want a better job… but again, it’s not totally necessary!

In fact, you don’t need anything… you may want things, but you don’t actually need them!

So make the choice to be happy right now… not when you have the things you desire… right now!

Just say to yourself, “I’m happy right now!”

Be grateful for everything and everyone in your life… smile… and be happy… right now!

There always seems to be someone, or something getting in the way of progress, doesn’t there?

Well, I have news for you!

The only person, or thing, stopping you is… you!

It’s your response to people and situations that matters most in life. It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you respond that has most effect on your life… and your progress.

It’s all too easy to choose the negative response when we face adversity, but all you have to remember is that whatever happens to you, you have the freedom to choose your own response.

The secret, is to choose the response that benefits you most… not one that holds you back.

Why do people want money? Because they think they’ll be happier if they have more money, of course!

And true love? Doesn’t that bring about more happiness too? Of course it does!

So, back to the main point of this article. What really brings about true happiness?

Does so called retail therapy do it for you? Do you feel happy after a mammoth shopping spree? Or does it just bring about superficial joy? In truth, retail therapy works for most people… but the joy is often short-lived! And worse than that, it’s often followed by much stronger feelings of guilt or worry about spending too much money.

What about spending time with friends or loved ones? Well, this is probably one of the best things you can do… but not the best. Spending time with friends and family will bring about a real rise in your level of happiness, so do it as often as you can… and take some pictures so you can remember the good times, (and increase your happiness levels!), when you’re feeling a little down.

OK, so I said there’s something better you can do… but what is that? Well, research has shown that the thing that brings about more happiness than anything else is… to help others! Now that may sound contradictory, but stay with me… and I’ll explain further!

Helping others brings about very strong feelings that create activity in your brain that in turn leads to great feelings of satisfaction and happiness. Now, I could go into lots of scientific explanation here, but I’m not a great believer in listening to what things do or don’t do! I’d rather try them out and find out for myself! So, here’s a little test for you… so you can see if it really works for you too!

Now, many people will say they can’t afford to help others… they’ll argue that they don’t have enough money to give to others! And maybe they’re right! The good thing is, you don’t need money to help others. There are so many other things you can do instead, and here are just a few suggestions…

• Give blood
• Help a friend to decorate or clean up their house
• Help a family member in their garden
• Write a thank you letter
• Visit someone you haven’t visited for ages
• Help a neighbour in any way you like

Get the idea? I’m sure you can think of a few things yourself too. Be creative. Oh, and one more thing. Don’t just do one thing… do a few. Make a weekend of it! Research has shown, that doing several good deeds for others together, rather than spreading them over a period of time, makes you even happier. Now, don’t get me wrong here! Please don’t use lack of time as an excuse to not try this… your happiness is at stake… so make some time. Remember… this will benefit others as well as yourself. So get to it. Your happiness is at stake!

Make today a great day!
