God’s greatest desire for each one of us is to be blissfully happy. And not to be this way because everything in our lives is going so well, but to be this way because that is our natural state, and all the stuff around us is just distraction. All is well and getting better.
I only SEE what is good in my life. Is that saying that everything in my life is good? No, absolutely not. What it’s saying is that I’m only going to look at, focus on, SEE the good things.
Does that mean ignore my problems? No, it doesn’t mean that either. But spending the majority of my time thinking about problems means that I will get more problems. I can look at my problems just long enough to decide what I’d rather have. Then that’s the thing that I need to spend the majority of my time thinking about. Either that or any of the wonderful things that have already manifested in my life.
If I truly believe that I get more of what I focus on, then the more good things I focus on, the more good things will come into my life. It’s as simple as that.

Here’s an excerpt:
If the know-it-all in your life is someone you can’t get away from, like your boss, give up trying to get a word in edgewise — this is a battle you can’t win. Let her blather on and try to keep wildly divergent opinions to yourself, if only to be spared the inevitable razzing you’ll get for dissenting. This doesn’t mean you should roll over and play dead, but there’s no point challenging someone whose sole satisfaction comes from arguing and complaining. After all, isn’t it better to be happy than to be “right?” Let us answer this one for you: Yes!
