I got some disappointing news yesterday...a supermarket listing didn't come through :( I spent a restless night wondering WHY and HOW I could change the buyers mind! Aside from waking up feeling tired and dejected, no awesome revelations penetrated my exhausted brain! Over a cigarette (yes, I'm not perfect) and a cup of jo - not five minutes ago - a little yet powerful thought formed and has inspired me. I'm young, healthy & strong, my life is full of wonderful friends and family, and most importantly I have a whole life ahead of me to keep persevering. Why focus on the negative when I can laugh over that silly stunt my son pulled this morning?
That's the great thing about human perspective - its so variable. Its true what they say about being our own worst enemy. What good will come from worrying and philosophizing over why someone else can't see things the way we do? The trick is to hold on to that slippery thread of positivity & happiness so that even the smallest triumphs are given their due appreciation. The only way I've ever known to change a grumpy mood into a more cheerful one is to be thankful for anything & everything that comes to mind and slowly (like this morning) I am reminded of what's really important and worth holding on to!
