Novelist Jacqueline Carey put it well, “It is my observations, though, that happiness limits the amount of suffering one is willing to inflict upon others.” Therefore, one of the greatest motivators to becoming happier is so that you will live more compassionately.

Who was assigned to write the Declaration of Independence? If you said, “Thomas Jefferson,” you’d be wrong. Jefferson was part of a committee assigned the task but Jefferson took the lead and made it happen. Don’t let the action or inaction of others dictate what you will do!

JumpStart POSITIVE THINKING
Click here to view the embedded video.
People confuse POSITIVE THINKING with positive expectation. The word positive means “that which is present.” Think about it— positive numbers count items that are present whereas negative numbers count what is missing. Therefore, positive thinking is grounded in appreciation for what we have even more than expecting something great will transpire.

Did you hear about the man who wrote the Bible? That is, the man who sat down and wrote out the entire Bible copying it by hand. How long do you think it took him to complete this monumental task? 10 years? A lifetime? No, it took just over a year and a half of just copying for 60 minutes a day. An hour a day spent at ANYTHING we find important will make us accomplished in no time!

JumpStart OTHER PEOPLE’S HAPPINESS

British Philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote, “Contempt for happiness is usually contempt for other people’s happiness.” To feel that another person does not deserve happiness is a violation of spiritual law. Because we are all of one spirit, whatever you deny others you simultaneously deny yourself. If you wish to be happy, you have to allow others— all others, the right to be happy as well.
