You are currently experiencing a moment. Our lives are a series of moments. Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of your moments could be happy and joyous? Well, they can be. How is that possible? Here's the secret. Each moment you are either living in love and positivity or hostility and anger or apathy. When you're in love and positivity, you feel Positive. And guess what? The world gets a little bit better when you're feeling and expressing positivity. Our world improves. The opposite's true too. When you're in a moment where you're feeling hostile or you dislike something, you are feeling negative. This is not a happy moment. When you are there, our world gets a little bit worse. It disintegrates a little bit, and other people around you and in your life feel your negativity, and their world gets a little worse. It hurts them a little. So the answer to bringing more happiness and joy into your life is to spend more moments In love and positivity. Almost all your moments. Sounds logical, right? But how's it possible? Is it? It is. Here's the secret. There is transportation to take you from a negative or hostile place to the land of love and positivity. What is that? It is gratitude. Feeling gratitude for anything, even the glass of water you may have, the floor, ground you walk on, someone in your family. Feeling gratitude. When you feel gratitude, you go to love. Hop aboard the gratitude express train. It will take you to love and positivity. It's amazing, and I think that we can convert maybe 95% of our moments into happy, loving ones. Why not 100%? Well, here's why. We always will hear things we don't like, maybe news, maybe a political comment we don't agree with, and it triggers our hostility reflex. But we don't have to stay there. You can transport yourself to better moments by hopping aboard the Gratitude Express. Do this: use gratitude to change your moments to love and positivity. You will find as you track your moments that the love and positivity moments will increase and increase in frequency and Eventually, this will become a habit, a habit that makes your life better, a habit that makes our world better. And as more people live in love and positivity, our world becomes more wonderful. Try this. I look forward to hearing how your life has benefited from this.
