Positive Thought for the day

I will be trying to put Postivities on daily. A lot of self help authors say to repeat Postivities daily and put them in the present as if it is already a reality not in the future because the subconsious mind will keep what your working toward in the future. So I will be posting Postivities that you can repeat daily

Positivity
I have an abundance of happiness in my life.



THE BEST MEDICINE IS ... LAUGHTER!

Really, no joke.

It's the best exercise there is for your facial muscles, belly, heart and circulatory system, immune system, nervous system, endocrine system, digestion. It's the easiest (and most fun!) way to lose weight.

Laughing just 15 minutes a day will reduce your cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, reduce your pain levels, and use up enough calories to shave off 5 pounds a year of extra weight -- all while shaping up your abdominal muscles.

Better yet, you don't even have to try! Statistically, the average American adult already laughs 15 times a day. Children beat us hands-down at 200 times a day. Is this a hint to take yourself a little less seriously?

Here`s something else about laughter

"It has been scientifically proven that your body cannot tell the difference between pretend laughter and spontaneous laughter," writes Dr. Kataria in his book, Laugh for No Reason. "Pretend laughter becomes genuine through eye contact and the contagious nature of laughter."

Mark Twain understood the need for laughter when he wrote: "The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that's laughter. The moment it arises, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place."



If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

-Mary Pickford



From the daily motivator

Ready and willing
In every experience of disillusionment is the small seed of hope. In every disappointment is the initial stirring of determination. That small tinge of hope, which makes the disillusionment possible, will grow if you let it. From utter despair can come brilliant success.

What sets you back also sets the stage for you to move forward. What appears completely hopeless gives you more reason than ever to hope.

The darkness gives your light a space in which it can be seen, and made use of, and appreciated, and truly valued. The challenges give you fertile territory in which to make a positive difference and a valuable contribution.

No matter what is in your past, you now have the opportunity to create the future of your choice. Everything depends on which way you decide to look, and in which direction you make the commitment to move.

This very moment can be the greatest opportunity you've ever known. When you are ready and willing, the possibilities are yours to follow.

-- Ralph Marston












Joke

A minister was completing a Temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."


With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world,I'd take it and pour it into the river."

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing,

"For our closing song,let us sing Hymn#365, "Shall We Gather at the River."
