The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby Mcferrin's simple message surely made a lot of people focus on happiness by simply telling them not to worry or fear, and just BE happy. Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress (anxiety and fear) is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke. It is also what is keeping you from having total abundance on every level. One of the better things ever said is - 'The only thing in life that doesn’t change is change', and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too invariably must and will change. Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different. The key is accepting people for who or what they are, avoiding clashes and constant arguments, and LETTING GO of all of your resentments, fears, and negative habits that are holding you back. To be happy is relatively easy; it begins with a decision. Simply just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is simple really; choose to be happy. There are 11 ways by which you can do this. ** To read the full article, [go here.] ------------------------------------------------------------ *** ARTICLE: Million Dollar Thinking Habits - By Stephanie Frank *** ------------------------------------------------------------ What is a million dollar thinker, anyway? Million dollar thinkers think about things like money and making decisions in a different way from the average person, using both the conscious and the subconscious mind. As an example: suppose you were $10,000 in debt. The average person would focus on the debt, how to pay it, how to get out of it. They may take on a second job to pay the debt. The focus, no matter what, would be on the debt. A million dollar thinker, on the other hand, would take that same situation and look at it 180 degrees differently. The million dollar thinker would look at the $10,000 debt, and immediately come up with a plan to earn $20,000. Focusing on solving a problem and strategizing how to make more money is infinitely more interesting, thought provoking and ultimately more prosperous than focusing on the negativity of debt. Right now, make a choice to understand how your mind and thoughts work. The exploration of the subconscious mind and belief systems that keep us from realizing our biggest dreams is a fascinating study -- and one that is well worth the time and effort to anyone who wants to be successful. First, take a look at your belief systems -- you know, the ones that everybody talks about but never really digs into? Do you have thoughts like... "I'm not good enough" "Money doesn't grow on trees" "There's not enough to go around." These are beliefs that infiltrate the conscious mind; ones that people hold onto very tightly, unaware of the damage that they do. Of course, none of those self defeating thoughts is true but they feel very real when you're thinking them. It's important to learn more about the mind and how these beliefs work -- especially, how the mind can create exactly the circumstances or situations we are thinking about. Even the bad ones. This is powerful stuff. ** To read the full article, [go here.] ------------------------------------------------------------ *** BOOK REVIEW: Feed Your Family Real Food - by Gaye Chicoine *** ------------------------------------------------------------ Feed Your Family Real Food, Local—Seasonal—Traditional is a cook book like no other.
