It’s Not What Happens TO You; It’s What Happens IN You | MWM
https://youtu.be/b5H_i8ilJC0
Have A Positive Attitude = Attitude is everything. It is important to have a great attitude about yourself, other people, and life. It isn’t what happens to you, but what happens in you. If you can find the bright side of things in tough situations, keeping a positive attitude, you will be capable of happiness in any circumstance.
#Dad #Attitude #Happy



Happiness is Not About What Happens TO Us, But IN Us
Have A Great Attitude = Attitude is everything. It is important to have a great attitude about yourself, other people, and life. It isn’t what happens to you, but what happens in you. If you can find the bright side of things in tough situations, keeping a positive attitude, you will be capable of happiness in any circumstance.
Happiness Is Not About What Happens To Us, But In Us = Have a great attitude about yourself and life. It's not what happens to you, it's what happens in you. If you have a great attitude about life and yourself, then you can be happy.

Seek Happiness, Find Disappointment; Seek Value, Find Happiness
https://youtu.be/nRttDvLAhr0
Seek Value = True happiness comes from a deep inner satisfaction and knowledge that we are good people with good values, doing our best to make a difference in life. That is a happiness that doesn’t leave when the mood changes. If you seek happiness, it will often disappoint or disappear … But if you seek value, by adding value to people and making a positive difference, happiness will come to you.


https://youtu.be/qYpShyvXr9w
An Important Choice = Happiness starts with you. That's the key! You have the choice to decide how you will start each day, interact with those around you, and most importantly be for yourself. 




Happiness Is an Inside Job = Happiness cannot be acquired. Often, people set out to pursue happiness in a spouse, a friend, a job, a family, a home, a title or a whole lot of money. But happiness isn’t “out there.” Happiness starts inside of you. It is a gift you can give to yourself.

Pray Without Ceasing = Pray without ceasing. Instead of setting aside time to talk to God, have ongoing, continual conversations with God—not formal, not long, not complicated, just from your heart—where you are, what you're thinking, what you're seeing, and what you're encountering at that moment.

Scriptures
1 Timothy 6:9-11 ESV But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
Exodus 30:37 Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord , and you must treat it as holy.
Hebrews 13:5 ESV Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Mark 15:1 And as soon as morning came, after formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.
Matthew 6:7-13 “The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.
Matthew 7:13-14 “Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.

Today’s Work is Tomorrow’s Success | MWM
https://youtu.be/88nAHom-BH4
Success Is A Journey = Graduation signifies that you have accomplished something, but you don’t become successful the day you graduate. You became successful the day you decided to go to school, take the course, pursue the goal. Success is a continual journey that shows up at graduation. Success is not the same as recognition of success. When we graduate we are being recognized for what we did right, yesterday.
