Joy and Happiness during the Pandemic

Happy Hump Day!!! This is a popular greeting made famous by a commercial with a "talking camel". It's surprising easy to say yet so hard to live. During this pandemic, the news and social media seems defeatist and depressing. People drudge their way through life working at jobs that aren't fulfilling. Whether working remotely or in the public, folks are sheltering in place in positions of powerlessness. They travel to and fro either with masks or with wreckless abandon, shop at big box stores, and still live beyond their means.  Their children either attend failing schools in contaminated areas or socially distanced laptop lessons. The isolation and revised routine has added to family issues and dysfunction.  Yet, our inalienable rights are to life, liberty, and the pursuit of....... happiness.  I will admit that I have been to several seminars which promise to unleash your true potential and unlock success. The bottom line always comes back to the same concept: do what you love to do and riches will come to you.  People spend millions on potions, potables, prescriptions, and physicians seeking some semblance of having a feel good moment.  Well I have some news for you. It is possible to be happy right where you are!!! Even when going through trying times, our attitude of faith can carry us through. We are able to receive a blessing in the midst of trouble.  And eventually the joy we seek will come to us in ways we didn't expect or contemplate.  Do you know how to change your mindset to see the positive? Pray.  God gives knowledge freely if we ask.  I have chosen to look at things "half full", and envision the overflow of abundance to come.  That's why I created this blog. My Purple Life Blog is filled with posts to uplift and compel you to live your best life; like the Kings and Queens we were created to be. Are you willing to improve your life? Are you depending on external things for happiness? How is that working for you? Join me on this journey by posting your comments below.  Thanks for sharing and stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
