You know I have had some pretty crappy stuff happen in my life
Yet every day I choose to find a reason to laugh. I find a reason to feel blessed; a reason to appreciate what life has to offer.
You can choose to look at the bad side of stuff or the good side. You can choose to see all the good things in your life or all the bad things.

Your choice.

The thing about having a negative outlook is that it doesn’t serve you or your sitch well.

The way I figure it is this. All that stuff in my life that isnt good, is going to be there either way. I can add to the misery or find a way around it. I can let it get to me or rise above it.

I know that if I allow it to change me. If I allow it to beat me, I lose me. And that is not an option.
I can live in the past. I can feel sorry for myself. I can blame other people.
But that gives the power to someone else, something else.
And I am unwilling to do that.

I get to choose my life, my heart, my thoughts, my happiness. And each and every time, I choose me.
The choices we make, the stands we take, the lives we touch and love, all matter. It all matters.
