It is not often that I enter contestes on Hive, but I am a glutton and sucker daily motivational routines and planting all the right kinds if seeds in your head and heart... so this round of @zord189's Hive Creative Contest really appealed to me. @zord189 - I do not actually expect this post to be entered into the contest... I am doing it purely because I love the idea. I would far rather see the winnings go to someone else.... (just so you know) xxx

The world needs more of this kind of "mental training" if you will - and the only way to achieve that is to make habits of such practices. There is enough negativity flooding the news and social media and to be quite honest... I am sick to death of all of it. So, on that note - I decided to join in on this one and share one of the many mantras which I hold close. For those less familiar, essentially, a daily mantra is a positive statement which you affirm to yourself at the beginning of your day and then repeat as many times throughout the day as you can remember.

Every single day you have an opportunity to create a more fulfilling outcome than what you are currently experiencing. If you are unhappy with an area of your life and you worry things are not going as well as you hoped, it could be because of your thoughts. Allow yourself to go inward and reach for good-feeling thoughts. Positive thoughts will help you manifest your desires more rapidly. We get what we focus on, and you have the power to get what you want by focusing on the positive aspects.

This particular quote / mantra I have long since held close to my heart. To my mind it completely encompasses the purpose of our lives as well as the journey along the way - highlighting the essence of what is truly important, for it is only when we are truly honest and accepting of ourselves that we can ever experience genuine happiness.

This is my HAPPINESS MANTRA...

The only way to get what you really want,
is to know what you really want.
And the only way to know what you really want,
is to know yourself.
And the only way to know yourself,
is to be yourself.
And the only way to be yourself
is to listen to your heart.

❤❤❤

Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
