On the matter of thoughts

On the matter of thoughts

I really believe we are what we think. Therefore, at one point in my life I decided I would make an effort to think positively and stop blaming others for the way my life is. Blame allowed other people to take control over my life and happiness when at the end of the day, I am the only one who can choose to be happy and act in ways that encourage happiness.

 

Some days, I don't follow this train of thought and some days I do. I've noticed that on the days when I've chosen to be happy (just because!) and refuse to allow any reasons to stop this from happening that I have the most wonderful days. I feel at peace and buoyant almost.

 

Remember that feeling when you were a child, happy and carefree? If you don't always feel that way, what has happened since then to cause you to stop feeling that way? Is it other people, events or is it you? Well I can say that it's option C (have you heard the rule - if in doubt choose C for exam questions?).

 

Make the choice to be happy. The world needs more happiness and life is too short to continue to be unhappy and not actively making an effort for your own sake.

 

If this has struck a chord with you then try the resources below. If it hasn't I challenge you read the first resource (30 minutes to read it max) and for a week to do what it says. They have made such a difference with me and I hope they do the same for you.

 

1. How to Be Happy Everyday by Alan Tutt - short and to the point and very practical
2. Design your dream year by Tal Gur - a short and useful template for goal setting
3. As a Man Thinketh and Above Life's Turmoil by James Allen - thought provoking and incisive. Go here for audios (As a Man Thinketh and Above Life's Turmoil)

So now that you've got your thoughts straight it's time to just be what you want.

 

Good luck!

Welcome

Welcome,

My vision for this blog is to give you my thoughts on experiences around Melbourne that make me happy. On the way I will also express things that are not so great which are of course my opinion and mine only. (I've done a google on 'blog legal liability' and brought myself up to speed on my legal limitations)

I will be succinct. And sometimes when I am really passionate about something I'll waffle. But always I'll stick to some form of truth.

Why this blog? Because Melbourne is awesome and because happiness is awesome. If given the choice, why don't we be happy instead of unhappy? Did I mention that I'll add a little bit of philosophy as well?

I would like to try new things so will be writing about quite a range of experiences. If you've got an idea for something new please feel free to let me know. I'll stick to what most people can enjoy regardless of age, gender or relationship status.

I will also send out events that you may be interested in being involved in.

And at the end of the day, some things that I say you'll agree with and others you'll think 'what the heck'??? Hopefully some of the experiences I write about will make you want to go out and try the same and discover for yourself what makes you happy.

Cheers
