The more we speak about something, the more of that something we have. For example, if you talk about all the things you don’t like, you’ll start to dislike them even more, but talking about who and what you love will increase the ability to love in your life.

Very few people learn this lesson: Love the life you have and never compare yourself, or what you have, to anyone else. Encourage yourself to learn to love every moment, embracing an attitude that abounds in hope, with a believing outlook. If there’s something you really dislike in your life, change it if you can. If you realize you can’t change it, work on changing your perspective.

As Reinhold Neibuhr said: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

The more you’re filled with loving thoughts and the more you speak loving words, the happier you will be.

Choose to focus on the good things in your life, and commit to yourself to handle your frustrations in the right way.

Intentionally Own It! What growth does this message inspire me to embrace, and why does it matter? When I embrace it, who am I becoming, and what value does this add to my life and to others?
