It’s quite all right
If you don’t succeed the first time
Next time, you might
As long as you try next time
Failure is good for you
It helps you to identify your flaws
And help to prepare you
For bigger “flaws”
Failure will help to cultivate
Inner inspiration
Which will help to activate
Great determination
Each time you fail
You’ll get closer to your goal
Due to knowledge “entail”
Before long, you‘ll attain your goal
A friend called me and said that she’s not in a good mood.
“ You don’t have to be happy 24/7 unless you’re nuts like me, lol. It’s good to feel sad sometimes because it helps us to evaluate our lives while helping us to appreciate the good times.” I said.
“I don’t like feeling like this.”
“Put on your favorite record and start dancing,” I said.
“How could I dance when I feel so bad?”
“Try it and you’ll find out.”
This is how I counter a bad mood.
1) I close my eyes and take a deep breath.
2) I think of a beautiful place: a river, waterfall or a beautiful beach.
3) I turned on the radio if one is available and I dance. If someone sees me, I invite them to take part. They usually laugh but most of the times they may join me even when they think it’s unusual. Dancing takes away a bad feeling very fast. Did you ever see anyone dancing while in a bad mood? Never.
4) I start humming a song or I make one up. Humming is great for the soul. I am always humming even in my sleep, lol…
5) I do something good for myself like eating an ice cream or drinking a nice cup of warm tea.
6) I find out that closing my eyes for 5 minutes can have the same benefit as a nap. Sometimes, exhaustion can take its told on our moods.
7) I laugh, and laugh, and laugh and laugh again. Before long, I am in a good mood. And because laughter is contagious, everyone around me will benefit from my good mood.
Two hours later, I called my friend. She sounded as happy as The Thinking Cow.
HOW CAN WE STAY OPTIMISTIC?
I laugh at everything first, then I look for a solution.
I start the day humming, singing, if possible dancing.
I do the best I can each day.
I maintain a positive attitude: “If it doesn’t work this time, it will next time.”
I appreciate being alive.
I am grateful every day even when I am having a bad day.
The secret is in the attitude.
1) You shouldn’t think how hard it is but rather how to fix it.
2) Always believe that nothing is impossible.
3) There are great lessons to learn from a bad experience.
4) Don’t take yourself too seriously because life is too short.
5) Everything in life is temporary.
6) Don’t forget to smile.
