Try my cloud out!
Do you realize how much negativity there is in the world? I mean really, seriously think about it for a minute. It actually saddens me. Don’t get me wrong, I have my moments, I am NOT perfect. However, I thrive on being happy. I CHOOSE happiness and being positive. My address IS Cloud 9 and you are all welcome over anytime!
Over the last year or so, it has been a work in process to literally catch myself engaging in a negative thought. It actually is really cool and fun to acknowledge it myself and then flip it around. But like I said…a work in process…caught myself today. Am I totally contradicting myself with blog even? I don’t feel negative right now, but by writing this, am I giving more power to “it”. I overanalyze things too much sometimes. Another piece of me that is a work in progress.
The saying “misery loves company”, could not be more true. The reason I say that is because even if you float through life with rainbows and butterflies flying above your head, the negative still have a little bit of power. This only angers me. I think it interesting how you could have the best day going and one tiny little thing changes the rest of it for you. Why is that? 90% happy and that small 10% totally obliterated the other portion? HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? In all logical sense the 90% should win?!
Offering a seat to someone else that needs it more than you? Do you?
Hold the door open for a perfect stranger? Do they for you? Do you thank them?
Asking how someone is doing…do you mean it?
Can I get you anything? What do you need?
Have you ever complimented someone you didn’t know on something?
When you tell someone I love you, do you mean it or has it become just something you are supposed to say?
Do you complete surveys or talk to a manger about service you received for the good as much as the bad?
When you give someone something, is it so that you get something out of it?
So many people are just out to get something free, so they use. They use whatever or whoever so that they can get something in return. If that doesn’t work, they will go even further. Perhaps sue someone for everything and more.
Much like people starving in this world, obviously on a smaller scale, but is it? If more people were happy, would there be as many starving people? That is where it is up to us. I have noticed that the power of one is stronger. When we are happy—only good can flow from us. The more we put out there, the more we get back. I am sure some if not all of you have heard me say that I do not allow myself to get depressed. It is true. If I feel like I am in a funk, I reach out. I want to get out of the house. I want to do something, even if it is to go for a walk. I want to laugh or have a serious conversation with someone. Anything to break that negative feeling of depression. If nobody else is there, then only I can do it. There is only me. It shouldn’t be this way. Everyone should have someone that they KNOW without a doubt that they could call at 2am and that person would pick up the phone. So, I think there should be a code phrase that everyone knows, like 911. Everyone knows that that is serious. No questions asked. So, I am here to tell each and everyone of you that I am that person should you need to call at 2 am or whenever. Just tell me “I need you” and I will make myself available. If you don’t already have my number, then email me and you will have it.
I better end this or I could go on all night.
Seriously though….think about it….because YOU are the only one that has the power to help you. Everyone else is your support through it. You have to be true to your integrity of who you are and that is what will shine from your light within. Truth always wins.
