These declarations are meant to encourage you to take control of the influences in your life. They are
suggestions as to what positive things you can speak about your own life instead of accepting whatever has been
said about you in the past. You now have the authority to plant the seeds of love, encouragement and victory in your
garden, thereby crowding out the weeds of negativity that may already have taken root! Just as in a garden, you
may have to pull and pull until you get some weeds out. Sometimes, the negative comments and declarations of
others have taken such a stronghold in our lives, that we must persist until we see the bough not only fall, but break
into pieces. Don't be discouraged if you don't reach your goals overnight. Just remember that even a small stream
of water will crack concrete eventually!!

Reading: BEING HAPPY
You may have defects, be anxious and sometimes live irritated, but do not forget that your life is the greatest
enterprise in the world. Only you can prevent it from going into decadence. There are many that need you, admire
you and love you.
I would like to remind you that being happy is not having a sky without storms, or roads without accidents, or
work without fatigue, or relationships without disappointments.
Being happy is finding strength in forgiveness, hope in one’s battles, security at the stage of fear, love in
disagreements.
Being happy is not only to treasure the smile, but that you also reflect on the sadness. It is not just
commemorating the event, but also learning lessons in failures. It is not just having joy with the applause, but also
having joy in anonymity.
Being happy is to recognize that it is worthwhile to live, despite all the challenges, misunderstandings and
times of crises.
Being happy is not inevitable fate, but a victory for those who can travel towards it with your own being.
Being happy is to stop being a victim of problems but become an actor in history itself. It is not only to cross
the deserts outside of ourselves, but still more, to be able to find an oasis in the recesses of our soul. It is to thank
God every morning for the miracle of life.
Being happy is not being afraid of one's feelings. It is to know how to talk about ourselves. It is to bear with
courage when hearing a "no". It is to have the security to receive criticism, even if is unfair. It is to kiss the children,
pamper the parents, have poetic moments with friends, even if they have hurt us.
Being happy means allowing the free, happy and simple child inside each of us to live; having the maturity to
say, "I was wrong"; having the audacity to say, "forgive me". It is to have sensitivity in expressing, "I need you"; to
have the ability of saying, "I love you." So that your life becomes a garden full of opportunities for being happy...
In your spring-time, may you become a lover of joy. In your winter, may you become a friend of wisdom. And
when you go wrong along the way, you start all over again. Thus you will be more passionate about life. And you will
find that happiness is not about having a perfect life but about using tears to water tolerance, losses to refine
patience, failures to carve serenity, pain to lapidate pleasure, obstacles to open the windows of intelligence.
Never give up ... Never give up on the people you love. Never give up from being happy because life is an
incredible show. And you are a special
