Bubble Theory

As a proud "bubble", given the name by a very grumpy English AP teacher in high school, allow me to share my Bubble Theory.

First of all, the term bubble is loosely defined in this article as one who is naively optimistic with a simplistic, hopeful spirit regarding life and people in general.  The Bubble Theory states that if a person shares in this basic simplicity and optimism in various aspects of their life, they unknowlingly surround themselves with similar positive people and events, and in turn, reap the rewards adn succeed in relationships, self-esteem, career, etc.  Another name for this way of thinking is positive psychology: if you think good thoughts, good things will happen (in the most basic of terms).

Let's take a moment and become acquainted with the bubble state of mind.  Take a deep breath, smile (truly smile, ear to ear, and love it), and let's think about what's going on in your life.  Focus on the basic joys and blessings in your life and be grateful for a moment (spouse/loved one, family, knowledge, health, home, support, memories).  Maybe your list is a mile long or maybe you have only a few basic delights, regardless enjoy them.  Now think about what's in your near future.  Everyone should have something they're looking forward to, so what is that for you (trip, visit, change, family, rest...)?

We all have things we would like to change in our life and this ambition is healthy, but it's nice to just take a moment and appreciate what you have and who you are.  Life is good, isn't it?  Enjoy what you have.  Enjoy what's to come.  And smile!
