Topic : Focus
When we focus our time and attention on things we find to be bad, we feel sad, angry, or anxious. Focusing on good things makes us feel good, excited, energized, and enthusiastic.
It has been said that focusing on good things is the first law of happiness because what we focus on (think about) determines our feelings.
God has given us the ability to choose happiness no matter what is going on around us. I am not suggesting that we ignore our problems, but there is a big difference between focusing on them and working to solve or resolve them.
You will never be consistently happy if you believe that happiness is determined by what is happening around you or to
you.
Do you believe that you can choose happiness and make it a habit? If you do, then it is time to get to work on
repositioning yourself and your perspective by putting the best possible construction on everything. A negative person cannot be happy, and a persistently positive person cannot be unhappy, at least not for long.
