अगले घंटे कैसा दिखेगा यदि आपने अभी निर्णय लिया है, तो इसमें आनंद लेना है?  यदि आप प्रत्येक गतिविधि में आनंद और कृतज्ञता जोड़ने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करते हैं तो अगले कुछ दिन कैसे सामने आएंगे?  .  यह मान लेना आसान है कि आपकी परिस्थितियों और परिवेश का आपके महसूस करने के तरीके पर पूरा नियंत्रण है।  लेकिन क्या होगा अगर आपने इसे पलटने का विकल्प चुना है?  क्या होगा यदि आप अपने स्वयं के अपरिवर्तनीय आनंद को उन लोगों, स्थानों और परिस्थितियों में लाते हैं जिनका आप सामना करते हैं?  यह पूरी तरह से उचित है, पूरी तरह से प्राप्य है, और इसमें नाटकीय सकारात्मक अंतर लाने की शक्ति है।  आपको समस्याओं और शिकायतों की सूची के माध्यम से हमेशा मानसिक रूप से स्क्रॉल करने की आवश्यकता नहीं है।  इसके बजाय, आप अपना ध्यान प्रत्येक क्षण के आशीर्वाद और अवसरों की ओर निर्देशित कर सकते हैं। ऐसा कोई कारण नहीं है कि हर यादृच्छिक घटना आपके महसूस करने के तरीके को निर्धारित करे।  आपके पास खुशी, कृतज्ञता, सकारात्मक इरादा, प्रभावी कार्रवाई और प्यार चुनने का विकल्प है।  आप जो कुछ भी कर रहे हैं, जिसके साथ आप हैं, आप जहां भी हैं, उसमें खुशियां बिखेरें।देखिए क्या सकारात्मक फर्क पड़ सकता है।  यह एक खूबसूरत दिन है और आप इसका अनुभव करके इसे और भी अधिक सरल बना सकते हैं। हो सकता है कि आज की सुंदरता पहले दिन स्पष्ट न हो।आखिरकार, समस्याओं और अन्यायों में आपका ध्यान आकर्षित करने का एक तरीका होता है।  लेकिन उन्हें आपको इस दिन की खूबसूरती से अंधी करने की जरूरत नहीं है।  मुश्किलें कितनी भी जोर से चिल्लाएं, सुंदरता और सकारात्मक संभावनाएं हमेशा बनी रहती हैं।  इस दिन की सुंदरता को चिल्लाने या चीखने की कोई जरूरत नहीं है।  आपकी आत्मा जितनी अधिक शांत होगी, उतनी ही अधिक आप सुंदरता को जानेंगे और अनुभव करेंगे।  जब हमारा दिन उपलब्धियों से भरा होता है तो हमें खुशी महसूस होती है।  यह तभी संभव है जब हम आने वाले दिन की थोड़ी सी प्लानिंग करें।  जब आप सूची पर टिक करते हैं, तो आपको उपलब्धियों और सफल दिन का अनुभव होता है।
