Yesterday morning I really had to work to regain my happiness power. It took a while, but I was able to refocus my attention on positive things happening in my life right now in order to get past what was bothering me.
It started when I felt that someone had stepped on my toes and done something that is my job. In addition, this person stepped in and “corrected” something I had already done. However in correcting it, he actually made it wrong.
I was surprised at how upset I got by this situation. I was really steamed as they say. It really wasn’t that big of a deal, but for some reason it really upset me. It might be that I’m feeling the effects of a cold and when I’m sick I become very impatient.
I eventually realized that continuing to be upset over this situation – especially since it was minor – so I started working on refocusing my thoughts. I began thinking about all the good things in my life and about the plans my wife and I have for the next couple of months.
It took a while, but eventually I was able to lighten up my mood and forget about what had upset me earlier.
When you find yourself upset over something, ask yourself if it’s really that important. If it’s not, work hard to refocus your thinking. Try to focus on the happy and positive things in your life. You’ll soon find your happiness power getting stronger and the upset will melt away.
To your happiness!

My happiness power has been very weak lately. I am looking foreward to when it is strong again.
Hi Shea, we all have times like that when our happiness power is in short supply. The challenge at that point is to keep focused on the things that make you happy. Sometimes it’s a slow process to build back that happiness. Always remember that what we focus on becomes real, so it’s better to keep your focus on the positive and with patience you’ll see your happiness power returning.
Been alone most of the time and reaching a point that I am giving up the idea of finding a life time partner. I do refocus a lot of times and it takes 10 times the effort to snap out of it.
I gotta read more this site…and talk more.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for stopping by.
Don’t give up on finding that special person in your life. I had a terrible first marriage and after my divorce I said that I would never get married again. Then a wonderful woman – now my wife – came into my life and changed everything for me. Before she came along, I had decided that I would never find anyone. She is everything I ever dreamed of and more. Keep your mind and heart open to the possibility of finding someone. Sometimes when you least expect it that special person comes along. Don’t give up!
