I was speaking to someone yesterday who began our conversation with a scowl and then began giving a laundry list of all the reasons why he isn’t happy. My answer was – I could too give you a laundry list of reasons why I shouldn’t be happy, but I choose instead to focus on what does make me happy and when I think of that list, I feel like my cup runneth over. So then I began to give him a list of the things I know about him – the things that are wonderful in his life – and I could see in his eyes that he agreed but still struggled with his desire to tell me why he is unhappy.
My horoscope this morning:
May 13, 2009
Taurus (4/20-5/20)
Each person is responsible for his or her own happiness, so do not feel obligated to put a bright smile on a sour puss today. It’s too much work for too little effort. Some people are happier when they have something to complain about, so let them be miserable while you choose happiness. Your perspective is spot on, so don’t let a negative person in your life tell you there’s no such thing walking off into the sunset. Prove them wrong by being happy.
