Despite external challenges, accept and know that everything is contributing to your growth, what is for you will be yours, and nothing can infringe upon your happiness without your permission. It can not be destroyed or diminished, you can only be distracted. Decide to be happy; choose it and it will always choose you. ~For more positive posts check out fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey  daily! photo: quotesvalley.com

If you make up in your mind that the things that bring you joy will always outweigh the things that don't; you are already starting your day off on the right foot.  Do not charge yourself with a bad day based on one negative person, situation, or unfortunate set of circumstances. Give the day the opportunity to turn around. Decide to be open to the awesomeness everyday still has to offer; you never know what the rest of the day may bring. Start the day with your expectations set on awesome. No matter what happens, you should consider every day a great day unless there is death in it. Yes, your only excuse for not having a great day every day is if you are in mourning, and even then, you should find the space to turn grief into gratitude for the experience of knowing and loving them. It may not be easy, but make it a great day, every day is more than a mindless notion; let it be the mindset to get you going every morning, and even when it is not all it could have been cracked up to ...

No matter what is going on around you; what trouble arises, what drama shows up on your doorstep, or negativity tries to impede on your happiness, take your power back. Your time is precious and valuable and your life will be the sum of what you make it. The time will roll on no matter what you decide to do with it so make a choice to use it in the most positive, loving, happiest way you can. Everyday, focus on your joy, invest in your gift, increase your peace, despite what may be thrown at you. Make the most of the time you have living more mindfully and minimizing the time you waste on worthless, useless, meaningless things. No one knows how much time is left in their hourglass so spend your time well. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey daily!
