Shortcut to happiness...

“If anyone would tell you the shortest, surest way to all happiness and all perfection, he must tell you to make it a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for everything that happens to you. For it is certain that whatever seeming calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it, you turn it into a blessing."

~ William Law (1686-1761)

Oh, this one is GOOD! The key, the secret to contentment and positive outlooks is right here in this quote. If we would just practice this ALWAYS, our hearts would not break as often, our attitudes would not get bent out of shape, our spirits would cry out "Allelujah", and a song of praise would continuously be playing through our hearts and minds, lifting us up and beyond our momentary circumstances. I love this quote! Now let's see how good I am at "linking" (or copying, as I will probably do)to my blog.
