The Keys To Happiness

Your thoughts are like keys that open different doors to your life.

You can choose your own adventure and you have the power to go wherever you want to go.

So choose your keys wisely.

If you start the engine with a negative key, be prepared to drive looking through the rear view mirror noticing all the things that you have missed.

You’ll see the rain and the cold and the red lights and the stop signs. You’ll get caught up in road rage. Then your car will break down.

We’ve all traveled on roads like that. They get steeper and steeper and the brakes just don’t seem to work.

But it is not the brake you need to apply. It’s a new key.

So, switch off the engine and switch off your thoughts.

Dream about where you want to go. See yourself driving there. Pick up the keys that will get you to where you want to go. 

Be grateful for the roads and the car you drive and the heater and the windscreen wipers and for all the people who imagined and made these things.

Notice the lights and the signs that help the flow of traffic. When an incident occurs, see it as an opportunity to practice trust.

Trust that you’ll get where you’re going. You just needed to collect a treasure for your journey.

You’re climbing up a steep hill and you’re going at just the right pace to be able to look around and appreciate the view.
