When the seeds of happiness in you are watered, you will become happy. When the seed of anger in you is watered, you will become angry. The seeds that are watered frequently are those that will grow strong. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
What we pay attention to grows. Period. Want to be stressed out? Pay attention to the news. Want to be sad? Pay attention to the obituaries. Want to be miserable? Pay attention to unhappy people and what they are saying. INSTEAD…determine what seeds in your brain require hydration.
Pay attention to nature. Pay attention to children. Pay attention to music. Pay attention to young couples in love. Pay attention to birds in flight. Pay attention to laughter and good food and art. Instead of staring at the phone screen to see what other people are doing, DO SOMETHING. Let’s get out and water the parts of ourselves that are parched.
Make it a strong day!
