Fake It Till You Make it

Life continually brings us twist and turns.  The way we handle our situations is what makes the difference in our outlook for outcomes.  Make a conscious decision everyday to be happy no matter what is going on.  Through frustration, agitation, disgust and disappointment, make the decision to be happy anyway.  Make an effort to smile even though you feel like crying.  Take a moment and regroup.  Wrap yourself up in your favorite music.  Meditate on the blessings in your life.  Set in motion a praise that just want quit.  When you are enveloped in praise, it is difficult to be depressed.  Fake it.  Yes, I said, FAKE IT.  Fake it until you have materialized, exactly, the joy you are perpetrating and it will seep into your consciousness and soon you will be happy.  Pretend until it comes to past.  Acknowledge your struggle.  Acknowledge what you are going through, by all means and then give it a good dose of joy.  The battle will seem less burdening as you fill your mind, heart and soul with joy.  This won't make the struggle go away, but it will allow you to deal with it in a whole different way.  Yes, fake it until you make it.
