I know that sometimes life can be difficult and feel like everything and everyone is against you. This idea is how most people live their lives. I used to feel the same way. Like I should have gotten that promotion or that I should have gotten a bigger pay raise. But all of this is about perspective. I see more and more clearly each day that my life is what I make of it. . I have always had my mind set to look at my relationships and see what the positives are that I can take away as well as the changes I wanted to make in order to grow from. Last week at a gathering I attended the story/passage below was read. Please read it fully through to understand exactly where I am going with this. I hope that you too can learn and grow from your experiences and become a better you!
Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be obtained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that
Today was a good day
