Cheerful Heart

I choose the lighter, brighter way.

The “Peace Prayer” attributed to St. Francis presents a series of dualistic couplets: “... Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon ... ” and on. The prayer uses opposing principles to illustrate guiding truths.

I have the power to choose cheerfulness instead of gloom, so I choose the attitude that reflects Spirit within. I can be the bright smiling one, the warm hugger, or the friendly greeter.

When I share my cheerful heart with the world, I act as a change agent for good. I carry the force that turns the tide for the better and brightens others’ life experience. My light-hearted outlook fills the world around me with greater joy.

I choose the lighter, brighter way.

A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.—Proverbs 17:22
