Recently, in a communication with Sara Westbrook, a very talented Canadian singer, song writer and motivational speaker, she ended her note with “Create a wonderful day!”  Sara has a wonderful positive message that she sends through her dazzling array of talents.  As soon as I read that I knew for sure we were on the same page with the message we wanted to send, and I truly appreciated her ingenuity.

Sara embodies a ‘Conscious Thinker’, and it shines through in her writing and music.  I encourage you to check out her website here.  One thing I adore about both writing and music is that you can take the lyrics or words and interpret them in way that has meaning for you.  You may learn something new in the process.  It is a fun adventure to delve into musical lyrics, and can be a wonderful escape.  Need a break from your day to day routine?  Try creating stories behind lyrics to songs you enjoy.  In fact, I think in the future when my creative juices are bubbling I will share a post with a fictional story behind the lyrics to a song.

Create a wonderful day really struck a chord with me because it brilliantly sums up how I feel about happiness.  You have the power to create your own happiness.  It is easy to lose sight of that.

What an amazing and wonderful power to have, which is so important to fully understand and appreciate!  You can choose what makes you happy.  You can choose how you respond to things, and how you are going to see the world.

Next time something you would normally view as negative rolls around, take a moment and think about how you can turn it around, or see it differently.  The more you do it, the easier it becomes and you can be surrounded by happiness.  Think of it like a happiness muscle that needs to be strengthened with hard work.  When you put the effort in to make your own happiness muscle strong the rewards are limitless, because your dreams are a reality.

Most of what we seek and want in life is centered on what we think will make us happy.  I can’t stress enough the importance of differentiating between impulsive happiness and deep down soulful happiness.  As human beings we all have impulses, or things that we think might make us happy at the moment, but contradict what happiness truly means for us.  Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference, but is very important to recognize, and keep that consciousness at the forefront in making decisions.

When you choose to see happiness everywhere and look through a positive lens, you realize your biggest dreams have come true.  They are a reality here and now.  Happiness being the overall goal is a part of you now, and can be the biggest part of your life if you simply let it be.  Those small moments when you feel at peace, when a smile creeps across your face, when you know you are surrounded by beauty.  Those magical moments are your dreams come true.

 You are an immensely powerful person, with all the love and beauty of the universe already in you.  All you need to do is let it out, and see the world in just the way that makes sense for you. 

Create a Wonderful Weekend!

*~* Thank you Sara*~*

I spend so much time being negative about where I live right now. I complain how it doesn't make me happy, how I don't have close friends, etc.
But right now I see something that I am so thankful for: my health. I am so healthy physically and mentally right now. I have people that love me. I have a cat, a warm home. And I know that I have it in me to find things that make me happy.
This is an AMAZING post!! I really love your blog. It makes me smile daily.

Thank you for bringing Sara Westbrook's positive message to the attention of your readers, Wendy.

A good message is important, but having people that believe in it and choose to share it with others, is equally important.

I have been trying to make 2010 a positive year all around. I often complain about stupid things, which in turn makes me more unhappy! So, this year I am trying to see the positive in everything. Right now I am sitting on my couch with my husband watching the Olympics. I love my beautiful condo and husband! Wendy, I love that you find so much happiness in everything! You make my day!

I think we must be kindred spirits..this post spoke to me as I believe the exact same things. You make your choice every morning to be happy or not. You can see the positive in things, or not.
You choose to be offended, or not. I choose happiness, every time I can!
