Adapted from Morning Notes by Hugh Prather (Conari Press, 2005).

When we read this quick tip for feeling happier, it made us smile. We tried it–and it really works. It is such a simple mind-tweak, but it is so effective. See for yourself!

If I am unhappy, I can restore my happiness by silently saying to whomever is before me: “I seek your peace. What am I not giving you? What can I give you now?” But if I am happy and want to be unhappy, I can think instead: “I seek my personal pleasure. What am I not getting from you? What do I need from you now?”

Like attracts like. With every good thought with corresponding inner feeling of peace and joy, another like feeling will be attracted. It's the Law of Attraction. Peace and joy to all!
