Give Yourself A Chance To Be Happy

In the same way as you become what you eat you also become what you surround yourself by

. There are some great amazing people out there in the world who can manage to stay happy even though they are surrounded my war, famine, and really negative life circumstances. However, most of us are not as strong as that and we easily get affected by whats going on around us in our lives.

Have you ever experienced seeing somebody else yawn and then shortly after found yourself yawning? If yawning can be that contagious, imagine how contagious something more powerful can be, such as a negative feeling!

It is very, very difficult to stay optimistic if everyone around you is very negative. How can you be happy if all you hear is people complaining, and all you see is people looking sad or angry? How can you believe that this world is a good place to live if all you ever watch on TV is negative news or sad love stories, all you hear on radio is about how badly the government is performing and how bad the climate situation is, and all you read is magazines full of the same negative content?

In the same way, it is difficult to feel like a great person if you surround yourself with people who complain about everything you do and if you soak yourself with media which tells you that youre not good enough unless you have the perfect house, a high income, socialise with the right kind of people, wear the right clothes, have the right body figure etc.

Its time you do some clean-up in your life? Scrutinise the surroundings that you put yourself in! Are the people that you socialise with lifting you up or are they dragging you down? What are the contents of your daily media intake? Does it make you feel like a great person and does it inspire you to develop even further? Does it tell you that everything is hopeless and youll always stay as the horrible person you are?

Clean away some of the people in your life that are not useful to you. If they happen to be close relatives or your spouse it might be difficult to cut off the contact altogether, but you might be able to think of ways in which you can minimize their impact on you. As for the rest, do you really have to keep seeing them at all?

Clean away all the media that is not helpful to you! Instead, start to look for magazines, books, TV programs etc that give you a positive feeling and that inspire you to become an even greater person.

You will find that it is much easier to be happy when you actually let yourself be happy by dwelling in surroundings that support you!
