Happy or Miserable?

Think About This: Are you Miserable or Happy? When you ask a miserable person, "What's new?" they say, "Nothing." Miserable people haven't done anything new in years. Happy people love to try new things. And when they encounter a problem they think of it as an adventure. If they get lost on their way somewhere, they say, "All right; an adventure!"
When the power goes out during a storm, happy people gather flashlights and tell stories on the couch, or do shadow puppets on the wall. If they are caught in a cloudburst, they sing and dance in the puddles. Miserable people, on the other hand, don't see an opportunity for adventure; they just think they're being picked on. They will ask themselves, "What did I do to deserve this?" or, "Why does this always happen to me?" Happy people turn adversities into big adventures. What type of person are you?

Reflect, Renew, Restore

Think About This: A carpenter's job is to build and restore. In doing so, they bring prosperity. They build up faith and belief. They keep their eyes on the mission at hand, even through setbacks, lack, and disappointment. What is the lesson here?
Each of us possesses what it takes to succeed at reaching our goals in life. Remember that the journey you must take to reach your success will be not always be an easy road to travel. There will be times that you question if you've made the correct choices and wonder if you should have taken a different course because of disappointment. Your mission has to be bigger than the disappointment at hand. Take a moment, if needed, and reflect back on all that has taken place. Then, after the good has outweighed the bad, pick up the hammer and start building, restoring, and taking prosperity to those around you.
