Lift Your Spirits and Banish The Blues
People complain that God put thorns on the roses.
Would it not be better to thank God for putting roses on the thorns?
Learn to Look on the Sunny Side of Things!
Cheerfulness Lengthens the Life of Human Machinery
The soul-consuming and friction-wearing tendency of this hurrying, grasping, competing age is the reason for cheerfulness as a life power. Is it not an absolute necessity to get rid of all irritants, of everything which worries and frets, and which brings discord into so many lives?
Cheerfulness has a wonderful lubricating power. It lengthens the life of human machinery, as lubricants lengthen the life of inert machinery. Life's delicate bearings should not be carelessly ground away for mere lack of oil. What is needed is a habit of cheerfulness, to enjoy every day as we go along; not to fret and stew all the week, and then expect to make up for it Sunday or on some holiday.
It is not a question of mirth so much as of cheerfulness; not alone that which accompanies laughter, but serenity,--a calm, sweet soul-contentment and inward peace. Are there not multitudes of people who have the "blues," who yet wish well to their neighbors? They would say kind words and make the world happier--but they "haven't the time."
Are you one of those people? Cheerfulness as a Life Power will lead you to look on the sunny side of things, and to take a little time every day to speak pleasant words.
Cheerfulness as a Life Power is a classic work that has been artfully brought into the 21st century to bring its powerful lessons to a new generation of people that desperately need it now more than ever.
