While perusing the books at the library, I came upon one titled "Addicted to Unhappiness" by Martha Heineman Pieper. The title struck me because I just recently returned from a trip from where everyone I encountered appeared to be anxious, angry and truly unhappy. At first I thought I was just being too sensitive, and then I stepped back to observe my own thoughts and judgment. I realized that I needed to choose how I re-acted amongst the negativity around me. By focusing on my inner-awareness, I found calm in the midst of the storm.
In our life's journey, we all encounter bumps along the way. How we choose to deal with these circumstances will either keep us unhappy as we continue playing "Victim", or we learn from the lesson and move forward. There are some who are so used to the drama of being a victim all of the time that they don't know how to change and may actually like the attention. Change begins with our thoughts. By changing our thought patterns, we change our outcome. How do we do this? By being conscious of our thoughts along with everything around us. This awareness will open up a whole new view of the world and we gradually find goodness and happiness in life. Our thoughts have an effect on all and by changing our negative thoughts into positive ones, we promote goodness all around us.
May you find peace and happiness from within.
Namaste!
