Don't Worry, Be Happy! (L. Hay) Article & Song

[Guest guest]

"Don't Worry, BE HAPPY!" Written by Louise L. Hay "I love to laugh! Who doesn't? The subconsciousness mind, however, has no sense of humor. If you make a joke about yourself or put yourself down and just think -- "Oh, it doesn't mean anything, I'm only kidding myself" -- the subconscious mind accepts it as true and creates this thought accordingly. So we have to learn to use our humor lovingly and wisely. "There's so much humor in life that it's not necessary

to denigrate another person or group with putdowns. Even in humor we're working to help make the world a more loving and safer place to live. "Because words have power, I pay attention to them and carefully select them. I know my thoughts and my words shape my life, like a potter shapes clay into a bowl, a vase, a dinner plate, or a teapot. I am the words I think and speak. So why not create space inside myself for loving, optimistic, and cheerful patterns to constantly germinate, take root, and grow? Laughter is good. "Look at all the wonderful people out there spreading the joy. I admire people like Loretta LaRoche who sees something humorous in everyday experiences. She just released a wonderful product filled with her signature wisdom and wit called "The Wise and Witty Stress Solution Kit". Check it out! "My latest affirmation that I say to people is: "Don't Worry, Be Happy!"

Singer/songwriter Bobby McFerrin had the right idea when he wrote that song many years ago. No matter what life gives you, you can turn it around. "You are the light in the world. Follow your inner star to sparkle and shine in your own unique way. You have a beautiful soul, and an outer body, and a personality. But your soul is the center. Your soul is the part of you that's eternal. Your soul can't be hurt or destroyed. It can only be enriched by whatever your life experiences are. I believe that laughing, singing, and dancing are natural, normal, spontaneous expressions! So don't worry, be happy, and dance your way through life!" -- Louise L. Hay ***************************************************************** "DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!" by Bobby McFerrin "Here's a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry, be happy. In every life we have some trouble But when you worry you make it double. CHORUS: "Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy now. "Ain't got no place to lay your head Somebody came and took your bed Don't worry, be happy. The landlord say your rent is late He may have to litigate Don't worry, be happy. CHORUS: "Look at me -- I'm happy. Don't worry, be happy. Here I give you my phone number. When you worry, call me, I make you happy. Don't worry, be happy. "Ain't got no cash, Ain't got no

style Ain't got no gal to make you smile Don't worry, be happy. 'Cause when you worry your face will frown And that will bring everybody down Don't worry, be happy. CHORUS: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it. Be happy. Put a smile on your face. Don't bring everybody down. Don't worry. It will soon pass, whatever it is. Don't worry, be happy."
