"You can even draw from positive affirmations or the voices of your mentors or loved ones. Sometimes, finding a favorite phrase to say to yourself and others can make a difference in your day. Whenever I'm asked, "How are you doing?" I usually respond, "I can't complain." This simple response helps to reset my mind at any given moment. It also reminds me to be grateful, irrespective of what is going on in the world."
"Before stepping out into a world full of both uncertainties and opportunities, consider first engaging in self-reflection. Realize that simply waking up in the morning is a miracle. That means, without this first experience of waking up from sleep, nothing else will follow. In the United States alone, about 3,279,857 deaths occurred in 2022. Essentially, because you are reading this article, you are not one of those represented by current mortality statistics."
Happiness is defined as a state of well-being involving meaning and deep contentment. A personal commitment to optimism supports happiness even when circumstances are unfavorable. Looking inward or outward can reveal reasons to be happy, and positive affirmations or supportive voices can reinforce optimism. Adopting a simple, gratitude-focused phrase can reset the mind and cultivate thankfulness. Regular morning reflection on the miracle of waking fosters perspective. Daily practices such as counting blessings, mindfulness, and contentment reduce greed and help maximize what is available despite life's challenges. Breathing, seeing, and hearing are cited as simple miracles to appreciate.
