They say when you focus on something you get to see or feel it more, like the new car you want suddenly its everywhere, or the family vacation that is all over the news, as if its the only thing people are talking about, or the nagging boss that seems to haunt your dreams, just a few examples to refresh your memory of the strange things we take for granted and don’t know what to make of them.

A fine use of the word “INSTEAD”;

• Instead of wondering why you hit that car and ruined your new toy, think how lucky you are to be alive, and while steel remains steel, blood is thicker than water, water is life and you my friend are alive to breath and walk another day.
• Instead of asking your kid why she or he got a “B” remember they are your little babies you once tucked in their cradle, the ones that make your day worthwhile so many days, the ones that you would literarily stick your neck out for. Give them a big hug and wish them well, wish that their days are glorious, sunny and full of happiness and success.
• Instead of damning the days that made you fall in love and break your sweet little heart, think of all the wonderful laughs and giggles you had together, those sweet priceless moments, the things that were actually nothing but meant everything, the hugs, the kisses, the feeling..oh those feelings!
• Instead of burying your head in the ground after the stock market crashes and you lose it all, remember the fact that you made it all, you made you! you came from nothing to everything and back to nothing, what’s wrong with doing it all over again? remember that you still have your most valuable asset: your mind to do whatever it is you want to do, make it, break it, fix it, destroy it, its yours, just like that sand castle you worked on for an hour, or the snowman that you bring down like Humpty Dumpty, its all play at the end of the day for a better day, unless ofcourse you hate what you do in life!
• Instead of frowning on your nose or hair and how bad it looks, instead of wondering why you don’t look perfect? remind me again, who is? you are wonderful, you are gorgeous, you are as sexy as they get, you are as handsome as they make them, everyone envy’s you for what you are, never doubt your worth and what you have, thank and you shall be rewarded, fret and you shall also be rewarded with more sadness and ugliness.
• Instead of hating him for what he did, try and figure out why you and him know each other in the first place, remember the start, its an art, hard at first, but when practiced over time, we can see the best in others and play to those rhythms, we all dance eventually on one note or beat, let the music play! and let the good times roll.
• Instead of crying about lost money and debt, do more of the thing that made you that money, focus on one thing at a time, multitasking is not for everyone, like what you do and you shall be rewarded, look at the way you spend your time, when money is critical for survival, throw away the pride for a while and work it like it is, critical. When all else fails, lower your standards and ride the wave up again, keep riding the waves, no wave is like the previous, and no tide is higher than what you can achieve and accomplish.
• Instead of hating what you do for a living, change it and find something you like, you know the secret to never working a day in your life? its actually doing something you really love and getting paid for it. Imagine I told you I will pay you to play all day, and if you play hard enough i will promote you, and when you perfect playing around You will be the BOSS and I will let you drown in money.
• Instead of fighting with your ex on your kids issues, remember that your kids are a joint effort they came out of a lovely moment, cherish that moment, live in the now, forget the back then, forgive the past, laugh at your mistakes and relationship mishaps, focus on what’s important, a healthy child.
• Instead of shying away from society and pretending to be an ostrich in the sand for failing in anything, rise to the occasion, remember that you of all people know something not a lot of people know in whatever you did, you took a taste of what not to do, you are now ready to move on in the right direction, get up and make sure you walk before you sprint, forget running that’s for losers ;-)

Instead of looking at that dark, hurtful, painful, threatening, ugly, lost, confusing, sad, bad, worst, weak side of things, look at the SUNNY, JOYFUL, LOVELY, CHALLENGING, BEAUTIFUL, UPLIFTING, EXPERIENCE of the hApPy, GOOD and BeSTest POWERFUL stuff out there, now put on your shades and join me in my quest for happiness :-)
