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
