BEWARE OF STAYING THERE TOO LONG

[Marcella Porretta]

BEWARE OF STAYING THERE TOO LONG We need to be aware of a Danger in the acceptance process. And the danger is creating Our own soap operas. It is simply not healthy to Review our own sad stories again And again -- like replaying a very Sad day on one of the soaps. When we dwell too long on the "sad things" we relinquish to them a power They were never meant to have: The power to keep our mental controls On the same channel in our minds. I have learned that I don't Want to give that kind of power to Things I have no control over. Instead, I need to remind Myself that I can choose happiness. IT'S NOT EASY! Deciding to move forward and choosing Happiness over sorrow is a tough choice. Sometimes I feel as though I'm fighting An uphill battle -- and you will too! At times we may feel that the dark Clouds may never give way to the sunshine. It is at those very moments that We have to remind ourselves of The power we do possess. It is the power of choice. I have discovered that somewhere In the midst of whatever chaos May surround us we can... Choose happiness over despair, Hope over hopelessness, Joy over continual sadness, And a smile over a frown. SO HAVE AT IT! Practice making this choice by Doing things that make you Smile, as well as bring joy to others. When you share kindness it always Finds its way back to you. May your life be filled with much happiness!     ~~unknown                           in "People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, But people will never forget how you made them feel"     If you enjoy my inspirations I encourage you to share my inspirations with your friends; When forwarding my letters, I ask that you keep my name and contact information intact in order for new readers to find their way back here by clicking below.  Your honest cooperation will be appreciated.     Marcella's Inspiring Collection To Subscribe, Click Here To view my website Click Here   There is power in prayer.
