The Glass You're Lookin Through

Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." The bible is filled with examples of people acting out of faith. These acts of faith were performed because the people that followed believed in the outcomes. In essence, they were being the change that they wanted & amazing things came from these.

I believe that in many cases this can be very true. I actively try to find pleasure in even the smallest things. I have found that happiness is very volatile. It is easy to find & if you let it, it can be easy to lose. Finding happiness is as easy as seeing someone else happy & smiling, getting or giving a hug, someone giving you a compliment, or even just feeling like you accomplish something you have been working at. All of these acts represent our strength & control of ourselves.

Losing happiness is very different. Losing happiness is a representation of our active decision to give our power to someone or something else. It is a loss of control & this is when we notice ourselves acting in ways that we wouldn't normally act & doing things we wouldn't normally do. Today I challenge you to change the glass you are looking through if you are giving your power to someone or something else. Happiness is just one good decision away & the greatest part is that you have full control over being happy. Peace, LOVE, & Happiness to you all!!!

Bless You!
Thomas
