'Your mind is a magnet. Continue to dwell on what you want and you will achieve it.
Think of your thoughts as invisible clouds which go out and gather up results for you. By disciplining your thoughts, you determine what you reap.'
Extract on page 70 of the 'Being Happy!' book by Andrew Matthews.

Being Happy!
‘Being Happy!’ by Andrew Matthews is a book I came across some 18 years ago that does exactly what it says on the front …it gives you the range of possibilities as to why you’re not, with solutions to show how you can be happy!
It is easy, light reading which can lift your mood as it highlights our habitual tendencies with a splash of humour. It has a light hearted but honest approach on getting you to look at;
- Patterns of behaviour that recur in your life and what you think of yourself;
- How you behave day to day;
- What you think about the most and therefore what you attract in your life;
- Your Goals;
- How you can learn from nature;
- Getting going!
The author, Andrew Matthews provides entertainment throughout the book with the animated illustrations he has created. With them he brings an element of humour that encourages us to laugh at ourselves and that helps us recognise that we’re not the only ones who think in a certain way.
In a nutshell (a familiar term that is used to refer to short summaries throughout each chapter in the book), this is a happy book in more ways than one that, no matter how you feel when you pick it up, has the capacity to make you smile before you put it down.
I’ve chosen our Jingle Critter Pig with ‘Be Happy’ written across his back as a touchstone to help remind you to be happy and stay happy! Click here to buy him!
