Joyful Habits

Look for Life’s Simplicities

Do you tend to go about your day thinking life is challenging and hard? Or do you look for ways that life can be simple and synchronistic?

Our mindset is a powerful tool that continually shapes the way we perceive life before us. Our thoughts, beliefs and values may be influenced by external factors. But at the end of the day, each of us has all the say in how we choose to view life before us.  We decide how we will react and interact with life and the people around us.

I love the well-known saying: “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.”  This can’t be truer when it comes to our mindset. Every human being walking the face of the earth will be presented with struggle, challenge and heartache. It is part of the deal. We will also be continually flooded with reasons why life is a gift, why we can wear a smile and why we get to feel a deep sense of love in our hearts.

Each day we get to wake up, we decide whether we will look for the reasons (and some days there will be many) why life is hard, or why life is simply a beautiful gift.

What will you look for in your day?
