DO YOU LIKE A PERFECT LIFE OR....A HAPPY LIFE???

THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

So many people think that things have to be just right in their life in order to be happy. Actually, that is not true. Happiness is a choice of emotions followed by choice of actions. I have noticed that sometimes a person struggles with seeing the glass as half full. one thing is wrong in their life and all that a person can do is focus on the one thing that is wrong. Focusing on what is wrong in your life, only magnifies the problem because your focus made the negativity bring it closer to you. This is why you want to be grateful for what is right in your life.
Even if you do not have the " perfect " job, be grateful that you have a job. Even if your partner is still falling short on meeting your expectations for the relationship, make sure you show the gratitude for what your partner is doing correctly. If you do not, you can end up pushing your partner away.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PERFECT PEOPLE AND HAPPY PEOPLE

HAPPY PEOPLE VS. PERFECT PEOPLE

1. forgive ....... hold grudges/accountability
2.optimistic ....... negative
3. mind their own business .... . worry about what "the jones" think
4. proud of their self ...... criticize their self a lot
5. doesn't nit pick ...... petty
6.take responsibility ...... blames others
7. understanding ...... takes things personally
8.love unconditionally ....... loves with conditions
9. is happy now/ has gratitude ...... says " i will be happy when........
10. does the best they can ...... nothing less than " perfect "

This is true about having a perfect life. It is a standard that is not realistic and hard to live up to. It leads to becoming very negative as time goes on due to not being able to meet expectations that the person has set for theirselves or others around them.
The lesson is to look at your life and know that it can be rewarding as it is. It is not when you have a relationship, lose weight, have a better job, or more money... IT IS TO BE HAPPY .

MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESSES YOU ALL AS ALWAYS.

(MY SIMPLE PRAYER...GOD KNOWS US) There come times when I have nothing more to tell God At such times it is wonderful to say to God, 'May I be in Thy presence, Lord? I have nothing more to say to Thee, but I do love to be in Thy presence.' Amen.
