The Answer Key

The greatest gift you can give to yourself is to make the commitment to be happy, positive, and as kind as you can be all the days of your life. Happiness is the present state of balance as a result of the repeated expression of joy and gratitude; that comes from keeping a positive attitude. The kinder you are the more joy you welcome into your life. Like a nosey neighbor, it will show up every time particularly when you least expect it, but need it most. Show compassion, smile often, laugh your way through life and embrace even the smallest blessings with a grateful heart. It is too short to live it any other way. Take a deep breath and relax. Remember, all you can do is do your very best. ~Stop by www.facebook.com/TheAnswerKey & www.twitter.com/_TheAnswerKey for daily positive posts!

Take charge. Go after what you want, and be constantly in pursuit of your dreams. Even if given all of your other obligations you can only afford to give thirty minutes or an hour every other day- commit to it. Go after your dreams as best you can with the time you have been given. Invest in your joy, in your happiness, and in yourself.  Find time, energy, and focus to do what you love. Press against whatever keeps you from it. Everything that rules us mentally and emotionally consists of intangible things. Whether it is love, trust, faith, hope, joy, courage, or fear we are ruled by any one of these things from one moment to the next. Today, let love, courage, joy, and faith find speak the loudest, and go after your dreams. ~Follow  www.facebook.com/TheAnswerKey  & www.twitter.com/_TheAnswerKey  -Now on facebook and twitter too!

There is nothing better than being on the receiving end of love. Thus, if you make it a priority to express that gift as often as you can, share it with strangers and those you love, give it away whenever you get the chance, you will be happy. There are few that can attest to anything less than that. If you are loving without condition, giving without expectation of a return, pursuing your passion, fulfilling your purpose, and grateful for what and who you have in your life verses what is missing; you will without a doubt be happy. Happiness is simply the result of the expression of one who possesses abundant love and gratitude. For daily positive posts visit www.facebook.com/TheAnswerKey! Add caption

No one stays in your life purely overtaken by your awesomeness, specifically, your significant other. They volunteer to be at your side through the good, the bad, the ugly, and unforseen, no matter what. Thus, such a relationship should consist of the constant reciprocation of consideration, encouragement, and appreciation of each other. Be conscious of the fact that both of you are choosing each other, choosing to work together, accepting your flaws, forgiving your errors, and loving each other for another year, day, hour, or minute. When you are in love you must understand that it should not be merely based on how it makes you feel; the way it fills you up with satisfaction, picks you up when you are down, and takes care of you when you need it most. Your relationship should be anchored in your love of the total sum of the other person and your concern for them and their happiness being as great as your duty and commitment to your own. Love is a beautiful thing, and for it to be ...

When you focus your body, energy, intentions, and mind on being positive, there will be less room for anything else. Refuse to allow the negativity to enter into your space. Become less open and more uncomfortable with sharing your space with things and people who do not serve you or your purpose in the best way. Every hill has its valley and every valley has its hill. Make your position, your perspective, your presence the best representation of what you want to gain and give to and from your world and the people in it. Make the most of every new opportunity to be present and add something positive to the space. Stay strong, be careful, and if nothing else, remember that Gratitude is always the Best Attitude! ~Make sure you check out  www.facebook.com/TheAnswerKey  for daily positive posts!

Nobody is perfect, but some people have taken imperfection to a whole 'nother level. You see them running around all the time, literally, grabbing a double dose of bitter-envy-petty-jelly-haterade every day. Be conscious of your interactions with said people. Negative-Nancy may sneak up on you and rub off. Bitter-Bessy may even attack you, Accusation-Amy may blame you, and Sassy-Stacey could try your patience. Take your time when dealing with the negative people and limit their time in your space. Be carefully mindful with your words so that you can communicate in the most effective and productive way with them. Get your point across without the anger and venom they are prone to spew. Know that people will always have an opinion about you especially when they are not working on themselves. Do not take it personally. They, like you are entitled to their opinion, but remember that you do not have to accept or own it. Sometimes snakes know the right button to push to bring you out of ...

To truly have a life of purpose with balance, joy, peace, and happiness is to live life in a positive way. Acknowledge that there is a bright side to every situation and all things are working in your favor. Commit to the idea that you can recover from any adversity life may hand you. Only then can you use every experience to better your life. Retraining your mind to find the assets instead of the detriment is vital to living a positive life of joy and gratitude. Count your blessings often. Know that your challenges and struggles are meant to be your tools to get what you want, what you need, and teach you what you must know when trouble arises in the future. Your prior triumphs over trials remind you that you can prevail because you have before. Try not to take everything to heart. Assume that transgressions are not personal and be grateful for timing. The less time you waste on relationships or ventures that fail you, the better. Like the choices of others, there will be some things ...

Your experience begets wisdom. Your thoughts determine your mood. When things go awry, you are allowed to have your moment; take it, but then put it to work for the betterment of you. Make your negative situation a positive lesson, and remember, even when you fall, all that matters is that you get back up!

No matter what life may have in store, know that no matter what, you can choose to use your experiences to benefit. Nothing is too big, too hard, or impossible. You can do whatever you set your mind to. Stay committed and welcome the new opportunities that come with each new experience, new day, month and year.
