Start Day With Grateful Heart

Wowow, my first post in 2012! Life is keep going and keeps getting happy and happier. High school has been so much fun, though my friends keep calling me 'emo' when i'm actually is a very happy person. Nah, but that's okay, as long as there is no harm done :D

I've been re-reading this blog and I think this blog needs a little more happiness, because there are many kinda-gloomy-posts here. Sometimes, I forget how lucky I am, to have such wonderful parents as my support system.. and wonderful friends for me whenever I need them...

I take it for granted....

These days, teens are getting gloomier, darker (not skin dark), emo-er, galau-er, and in many possible negative moods in the world. I'm thinking about sharing how to live a happy life. Life is too short for so much sorrow, no?

For galauers, never compare your love story to those in the movies. Those are just written by scriptwriters while yours will be orchestrated by God. Choose it right, cook with logic, season with heart.

And how to start being positive and happy throughout your life?

• 1. Stop comparing yourself to other people.
• 2. Don’t put yourself down.
• 3. Get into the habit of thinking and saying positive things about yourself to yourself.
• 4. Accept compliments.
• 5. Use self-help books and websites to help you change your  beliefs.
• 6. Spend time with positive supportive people.
• 7. Acknowledge your positive qualities and things you are good at.
• 8. Be assertive, don’t allow people to treat you with a lack of respect.
• 9. Be helpful and considerate to others.
• 10. Engage in work and hobbies that you enjoy.

Every time a negative thought comes into your mind, stop whatever you’re doing. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that it’ll be okay. Close your eyes and envision for yourself a light. It is up to you to keep that light glowing fiercely. Open your mind to the endless possibilities which you know you can achieve. Smile and let it be known to the whole world that you are ready. Ready to take that step. Ready to proceed. Ready to take on anything. With that thought in mind, dispel all those negative thoughts, because everything which has been said is the truth. You can do it.
