On Cloud Nine ♥ Over The Moon ♥ In Seventh Heaven
In keeping with my crusade “I Can Do Better”, I have begun to look around for actions I could take each day to perpetuate this thought. It hasn’t been difficult to find a small change that would make someone’s day better, and I find that I feel the change too, resulted from my improved mindset. “Reap what you sow”…Right, Grammie?
Today I was preoccupied with the Professor and his workload, and as I was sitting in the office waiting for his next request, I began to ponder what small changes I could make today. My mind wandered and I had a ‘Eureka’ moment. What if I began to replace my daily mantra of ‘I Can Do Better’ with that of ‘Who Can I Make Happy’. Now let me tell you, many ideas starting whirling in my brain right off the bat!
The word HAPPY is defined as ‘an unexpected pleasure’. I wondered ‘what action could I take that would be spontaneous and surprising enough to make someone happy? ‘Ah ha!’, I thought, what about this example:
I have a friend who rises very early every morning; her family’s travel is such that she is often alone. Why not fix a cup of coffee and reach out to her early morn for a ladies chat? I know this call would be received with loving emotion, and certainly would be an ‘unexpected pleasure’. Making her happy in return would make me happy. She, beginning her day happy, will certainly carry forward into her daily actions, and so on and so on! Whoo Hoo…I smell an ‘epidemic!’
Making it a spiritual exercise to do good every day is really propelling. I hope the contagion of this behavior pattern is catching you, too.
Who Can You Make Happy Today? ♥
