As you all know, we have entered the most beautiful season of the year. There is so much color and life that comes with fall. The clean, fresh air. Unpacking all of the long sleeve shirts and sweats. And really importantly, spending time with family. With the Fall making her entrance, I am left feeling new. Almost as if something has restarted in my soul. I am being challenged every day with the same thing that I have struggled with for a while. I feel like Fall is almost a chance to start over, a time for new beginnings.
With new beginnings come change.
As I was washing my hair this morning, I opened up my new bottle of conditioner. The name of this particular conditioner is called "Simply" (I know, how exciting). As silly as it may sound, this got me thinking. If we just lived our lives "Simply", how much more happiness would we be blessed with? Would we have outlooks on life that go with the flow? Would we all be more at easy and let things roll off our shoulders more? This is what I am challenged with...
Being positive can be exhausting if it isn't something you are normally "blessed" with. You really have to stay focused through the entire day for this whole concept to be effective. When you wake up every morning with a positive outlook and look for the good in every situation, happiness will creep into your life without you purposefully trying to seek it.
Today's world is full of negativity and complaining. I saw this poster on Pinterest that really caught my eye. It said something along the lines of, "Go 24 hours without complaining (not even once) then watch how your life starts changing."
Whaaaaat? Go 24 hours without complaining??? Yes, thats right. If you aren't spending your time complaining, what ever will fill your time? You know, when you are complaining, you are shutting down every single opportunity for positivity to enter your life. Plus when people are being negative, it catches on like a disease. Negativity is just like the plague, it spreads like wild fire.
BE THE LIGHT. Be the person who has nothing but good things to say. If more people just went with the flow and made positivity a goal every day, how would the world be different? Because when you are in a state of positivity, things fall into place. It seems as if everything is going your way. And who doesn't want that?
Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. So rise up, and attack every day and situation with enthusiasm. There are so many reasons to smile throughout your day, don't let the one reason to frown set the tone of your day.
Be inspired and live with simplicity!
