You may already know that the words you attach to your everyday experiences have a direct and profound effect on how your body reacts to it and how it is perceived overall. "I hate this!!" versus "maybe I can learn something out of this" and "they are sons of bitches" versus "I know they will get it sooner than later" and "I can do this" versus "there is no freakin' way", all can very much attribute to the outcome of each situation. The kicker is the fact that you may not even really believe it. Obviously the more you do believe the better the result but the simple task of making the choice to choose your words wisely can choose a better experience.
Filtering the words that come out of your mouth can help turn what seems to be a horrible or hopeless situation into a bearable or great one. Now instead of saying "that's easier said then done", try saying, "yeah, I can do that and it will get easier as I go along." Then watch more faith, love and happiness come into your life. Let your words illuminate your experiences today.

Defending Our Unhappiness
Have you ever run into someone whom you've shared the thought "don't worry", or "have faith", or "it'll be alright"? And in return you receive a blistering look of anger for your inconceivable idea that the world is not crumbling. How dare you think that everything will work out or that being happy is a possibility in the perception of their discontent. My question to you now is why do you think this is so? Why do we defend our unhappiness so vigorously? Why do we sometimes choose, with all of our heart, to cling so dearly to what is making us so unhappy? Why do we identify with it and how do we seem to find some sort of comfort from it?
If all of us that say we believe in God but then cling so dearly to the opposite of faith and joy, and love, is it obvious then that something very opposite is drawing our attention and inspiration? I choose Love, Joy and Faith in my life instead of the opposite every chance I get. Can it really be that simple? Yep.
