Celebrate the Small Things in Life to Never Run Out of Happiness
How Can We Celebrate the Small Things in the Middle of Chaos?
I remember the day when I got the call of losing my dad, but I'd also be lying if I said it was a surprise... as much as I'd love to say it was a "grand exit" for my dad, but it was not. The amount of people happy when he was gone was insane. He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, but I was and I am determined to make sure his legacy is not around his mistakes, rather the things he did right. It would have been a slam dunk to leave it sit there on how bad of a guy he was.
When the world wanted to remember him based on their hurt, being justified in their pain, I wanted to bring to light the power of Love and what can be overcame if we put in the effort. Yes, not everyone we want to repair relationships will care so I was fortunate in this case, however, even then... there were things only I could control.
When I was able to come to grips on this truth... I can ONLY control MY response.
My ability to respond is my RESPONSE-ability... and knowing this I was able to put my focus on one single focus, and with the grace of God, I am able to steer my words towards things life-giving, instead of eroding my own confidence. When it comes to being happy in the midst of a storm, it's truly a CHOICE to focus on 1 thing.
Did You Know Our Words Scientifically Steer the Course of Our Thoughts?
Yep, I said it. And it's scientifically proven our words are able to control our thoughts... YOU CAN control your thoughts by controlling the words you speak. When chaos is happening all around you, controlling your FOCUS is crucial and your words are sometimes the hardest items of our being to control. Our words are the purest form of power we all possess as human beings. Human BEINGS... let that sink in and understand, that when you can be PRESENT with your PRESENCE while still being alive is way more powerful than leaving a legacy of hardly doing anything with your presence.
