They will be just a passing blip on the screen of your life, unless you detain them and flood them with power-giving attention. If someone irks you, that just means you&#8217;ve let your focus wander. Get your self talk back under control and your aggravation will soon drop. You&#8217;ll notice your pain is caused, not when a troublesome thought surfaces, but by your conscious choice to follow the troublesome thought. By your conscious choice to re-activate your pain by staying on the topic both in your mind and with your friends. Stop being ticked at anyone you think can steal your happiness. They don&#8217;t have that much power over you until you give them power by your repeated thoughts and words. They were just a passing blip on the screen of your life, until you detained them by giving them attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\">RELATED: <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=42529\" rel=\"bookmark\">How do you nip something in the bud?<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/when-im-all-happy-how-can-someone-burst-my-happy-bubble\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=When I&#8217;m all happy, how can someone burst my happy bubble?&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/when-im-all-happy-how-can-someone-burst-my-happy-bubble\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/when-im-all-happy-how-can-someone-burst-my-happy-bubble\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/when-im-all-happy-how-can-someone-burst-my-happy-bubble\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=When%20I&#8217;m%20all%20happy,%20how%20can%20someone%20burst%20my%20happy%20bubble?&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/when-im-all-happy-how-can-someone-burst-my-happy-bubble\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was asked, &#8220;When I&#8217;m all happy and content, how can someone come along and burst my happy bubble?&#8221; Answer: Because mindfulness is a moment by moment choice.
