"It is not things that are disturbing but your view of things which are disturbing."
I don't know who originally said the above quote. But my psychology professor said it a lot last semester. This post is dedicated in large part to all my friends. They are great people and I love them a lot but since I've had my "positivity epiphany" I feel like I need to be preachy and hopefully help them reach the same sentiment that I have reached. Does life suck? Do events make us sad? Or! Is it our perception of all these things what makes them so negative. A word is just a word. But in context and with a human made definition the word means so much more. The same thing can be applied with life events. It's like they say, when one door closes, another opens. Did you lose your job? Or were you given the opportunity to follow a new path in life? Yes, upon being fired or laid off, you may be panicked and frenzied not knowing how you are going to come up with the necessary money to live your life but the sun will come out tomorrow and if not, you'll survive a cloudy day too.
I know about bad days. And months. And even years. But I'm still here. There are two ways to live your life. Focus on the positives and see everyday as a new opportunity to succeed and improve OR focus on the negatives and not give yourself, or your life, a break. Bad things happen. But if you focus on that there is no where to go.
A little more philosophy tonight. Keep shining on, folks. Tomorrow is another day to knock 'em dead :)
