英语诗歌:Make Room for Happiness 为快乐腾点空间

If you want something new and different in your life, you must first make ROOM. Make room for happiness by moving OUT the old.

The question is: Where do you start to begin to make room for happiness? You may find the answer right here at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, and I’m Faith.

1. Time.How do you spend your time? Is it wasted time, or refreshing¹ time? Does it take you toward your goals, or away from them? Are you consciously spending time, or just letting it happen?

2. Environment. What no longer is working for you in your environment? Are there unfinished projects that were important at one time, but no longer intrigue² you? When you look around, does your environment make you feel good? Make you smile?

3. Relationships. What relationships are no longer effective to your happiness? Do the people in your life support you? Are you are proud to introduce them to others? Do you learn from them?

4. Thinking.Do you talk to yourself like your best friend? Or do you talk to yourself like the neighbor you despise? Do your thoughts inspire and motivate you…or hold you back from your best self?

5. Work. Do you feel fulfilled and happy about your work, whether that’s a domestic engineer, or CEO? Or do you dread³ doing the work, and just count the minutes until time off?

Once you have made the room for success, adding what you really want WILL give you pleasure and fulfillment. If you try to add it on top of what you already have, it will become just another source of aggravation⁴. First, you must set up your life to support success.

This is Faith from Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, thank you for listening, goodbye.
