Woke up in the morning with Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy” playing on my alarm. I guess it’s a nice alarm tune to wake you up – makes you wish and sing that worries need to be put aside and we need to be happy. We all require the dose of positivity early in the morning.
So having started on a positive note, I went through my day’s planner and on the edge of today’s schedule, the planner border had a very interesting quote mentioned that immediately lifted my spirits, which were already high due to Bobby McFerrin singing his careless beats of Don’t Worry Be Happy early in the morning to my exclusive audience.
The words on the planner were just what I wanted to hear & feel – “Positive Thinking is an Investment which gives regular dividend in the form of SELF CONFIDENCE”. Bang on target – I guess the forces of Mother Nature were conspiring up on me, determined to make my day a truly positive one.
And this has been my source of inspiration since morning. Yes friends, I may have spoken about the virtue of positivity many times before, but no matter how much I speak about it, it always seems less and there is always scope for more to add to it. Positive thinking leads to positive actions and positive actions lead to positive results and positive results lead to happiness and happiness leads to positive thinking again…….there, we have completed the circle of life, rather I would call it the positivity circle of life.
If all of us could sincerely give this spirit of positive thinking a serious trial, I am sure the results of success would definitely be astonishing. All you need is to push yourself a little to build a massive momentum towards the dome of positivity in your life. I know saying in words and actually doing in actions is a far cry, especially all the more when you are feeling low and down in the dumps – I guess then all the positivity gets tossed out of the window.
But dear readers, in fact it is exactly at such times that we must try out our exercise to make positivity and positive thinking our life partners. I know that Rome wasn’t built in a day and I don’t claim that you will succeed in the very first attempt. But you owe it to yourself to keep trying for at least some time, if not more, for at least a few days. Trust me, the results will justify the efforts and pain you put into this.
And if all of us try our hand at it and if we all collaborate and support each other to ensure that positivity remains floating around, just imagine what a happy, positive world this will be all around us. All the negativity and all the unhappiness will vanish taking with it all the hatred, anger, fear, suspicion and doubt.
The ingredient to happiness is simple – a Patiala peg of positivity every day and that sets you packing for the day – always high – high on positivity and high on happiness. After all god wanted us to be happy when he gave us the human life form and this beautiful planet, so why do we keep desperately trying to prove him wrong and go against his wishes.
Toh dosto, acha socho, acha bolo, zindagi apne aap khoobsurat ho jayegi…….
