You know, I have always thought I was positive. But in the last year, I know for a fact what really sets me apart from so many. It is my ability to see the good, no matter what it is. I try really hard to give everyone the "benefit of the doubt". I want to believe that when things go ari and become disheveled that the best of intentions were set in place first. I want to believe that when people say, that they're telling the truth, that they really are.
There is so much hate and despair in this world, I think it could break any one us to pieces...but, what good would that do?
Will your worry and pessimism reverse your financial struggles?
Will your frustrations and anger heal your sick child?
Will your hate and angry words repress the pain felt from broken trust?
No. But we can be happy. We can choose to see the good around us. We can take what has happened and make it better than today. We can learn to let go of what we cannot change and fight and live for what we can. I know my life is certainly not where I thought it would be. If you had asked me even just 5 short years ago, if I thought my life would be where it is today...I would have said it was impossible. But nothing is impossible. We can not predict the future, but we can choose. We can choose how we will handle situations. We can choose to be happy, sad, glad, content, angry, fearless, blessed, thankful. I want to be happy. I want to see the good in everything and love life.
That is what makes me different from everyone else.
