"The power of happy thoughts shouldn’t be underestimated. In an average day it is estimated that we have around 60,000 thoughts.
It is known that happy people think more happy thoughts than unhappy people.
Happy thoughts connect us with the clarity, confidence and courage to act… to know what to do. To travel down our own path rather than the same trail everyone else follows.
Jealous, angry and fearful thoughts take us away from our own path… our own purpose. They strip us of our power and ability to act effectively.
If we think happy thoughts… we create happy perceptions… which lead us to happy events. And so we create a exciting circle (where we become ever happier) as opposed to a vicious circle.
If we think fearful thoughts we become afraid and act defensively. This pushes away other people and other possibilities away from us. And so we become lonelier and more afraid.
The route to a happier life is through happy thoughts. Not just because they make you feel better immediately… but because happier thoughts give you a stronger and more stable foundation to your life. You are in control rather than being bounced around by life."
