Happier - follow up

Yesterday, I wrote about Nataly Kogan and her Happier app (see post here).  Well, I just have to do a quick follow-up to the post today.  I'm beginning to realize that when you become focused on something it just seems to pop up everywhere.  I'm not sure why.  It could definitely be a God thing.  He is reinforcing His message to me.  It maybe that I'm just hyper-aware of things that have to do with what I'm focused on.  Some might say it has to do with the whole Universe thing.  I don't know but I think it's a lot more than just coincidence and it's something that I need to pay attention to. 

For the past several weeks, since I started reading James Altucher's book, Choose Yourself, I've been focusing on having a positive mindset and being grateful for the abundance in my life.  I wrote about it briefly in my post titled Abundance.  Then , I discovered Nataly Kogan's Happier App.  What a perfect fit!   And I was encouraged  again to find someone who has recognized that achieving the "American Dream" is not necessarily going to make you happy. 

Nataly talks about how science has proven that focusing on small positive moments in our lives on a consistent basis has numerous benefits.  It can even make us healthier.  Pretty cool, huh?  Who couldn't be happy about that?  That scientific evidence seemed reason enough to continue down this path.

But..... this morning I got the ultimate confirmation that I'm focusing on the right stuff. A friend posted this verse on Facebook: 

"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22 NIV

 So, I'm going to continue to work on seeing the abundance in my life.  I'm going to create and collect the happy moments in my life.  I hope that you will too.
