Why You Must Pay Attention to Yourself – First and Foremost
By:Paula Owen

It is time to stop fretting, worrying and dwelling on what other people are doing. What others choose to do with their lives is their own personal choice.

It has nothing to do with you. So concentrate all your attention only with yourself, and do not worry yourself thinking about other people’s lives.

All that really matters (and all that will ever matter) are your own choices. The choices you make either consciously or unconsciously are because of your thoughts.

Did you know happiness is a choice?

It really is. And once you embrace this fact nothing anybody says or does can touch you. Even President Lincoln said, “You are as happy as you decide to be.”

Happiness really is a choice. And when you make the simple decision (that is all it is, a deliberate choice) to live from a happy state you will find happiness everywhere you look.

You will see pure harmony in Nature. You will attract joyful circumstances and opportunities. And you will feel happiness when you hug your family and friends.

When you choose happy thoughts most of the time, happiness will become your new dominant state. (You are not expected to feel happy ALL the time. Sad things do happen and are there to provide our lives with contrast and a point of reference.)

When you are feeling good, joyful and happy... you will be at peace with yourself and everyone you come into contact with.

This is why you must pay attention to yourself – first and foremost. This really is the secret to living the life of your dreams.
