Happiness

After reading The Secret, I decided to order the video last week and viewed it over the weekend. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, you are really missing out. I have realized that I need to take some time out and really feel gratitude for the people and things that are in my life. I sometimes forget how much I have accomplished and how much more I will accomplish with a positive outlook. My favorite quote from the book is "No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty." ~Napoleon Hill

I think back to my conversation with my fiancé last night, when he was regarding a situation, "I just want you to be happy." In that moment, I began to wonder, was I not happy? Is there something preventing me from being happy?
At times, I feel jaded. I guess I am a real New Yorker. When you live in New York, you are open to opportunities and let downs very young and very fast. We are cut throat and we are on the go. One can easily get lost in the chaos, the rush and the blinding light. It takes positivity to reach up and beyond. With a little help from this book, positive occurrences and positive people, I am able to acknowledge the negative and rise above. I sometimes find myself battling with staying positive and looking at "reality."
My fiancé, on the other hand, is always positive. He helps me eliminate the negative and remain focused. I am grateful for him.
