why dont people just look at the positive side of life and let the negative side go? the thing about problems and issues is simple.. everything in time will work itself out. i know life likes to toss curve balls at us all.. but why dwell on them?
in life we are all given choices, a cross roads if you will.. from the smallest little things to the most important big things.. and when we stand there at that cross road we make a decision which will ultimately lead to another decision and so on and so forth..
let me explain..
owen went down for his nap and i had to make the decision to either jump in the shower or wait a bit and play on the internet first.
i chose to jump rather than wait knowing the outcome of waiting could just leave me without a shower until the evening tonight (something im not rather fond of).. from that decision i had to decide *do i get human now or later* i choose to now so that later im not having to defend off my makeup bag and pretty much the entire contents of the bathroom from the owen'ator while i finish getting human.. or i could have sat around towel headed all day long and looked like death warmed over, not that *human* is much better but still...
you see those are examples of the little decisions we face as people every day.. on a bigger note it could be to purchase a home, a vehicle, to have a baby, to move, to love or to let go.. i mean its really endless right? just your basic everyday decisions that we all face..
but why dwell on the negative side of life? to be quite honest it all comes down to the decisions we make as people and the out come of those decisions.. i agree sometimes it would be nice to rub a crystal ball or at least get to see the alternative outcome before choosing which way to go .. but we cant so we have to sometimes just go with our gut.
our gut may lead us to the grandest of grand or the trying of trying-est times but why dwell on the negatives?
i like to personally refer to life as this grand roller coaster with ups and downs.. twists and turns.. sometimes you might want to throw up and others you just toss your hands in the air and scream with excitement..
during the times that are downward spirals.. just hold fast to those in your life.. family and friends.. during the ups again do the same.. those who are there for you during the toughest of times.. the ones that never leave you will always be there regardless of anything..
yesterday your life might have tossed you a curve ball that you saw as the end of the world.. but next week that curve ball will look more like a speed bump. i know when you are going threw tough times, everything seems like an endless battle but in reality.. it always will. so hold fast, hang on and enjoy the ride.. theres really nothing more that you can do.
dont stress it, life has a funny way of always finding a way to work out in the end. know that.. live with that knowledge and be happier for it..
as for people in life, some will come and some will go.. but i am a firm believer in everyone comes into our lives at a point where we need them most, some may leave and never return.. where some will always be just that phone call away. this goes for family and friends. there is a lesson in each person we cross paths with that we will learn.. we might not learn it the second they are in our lives but eventually, someday it will all make sense to us. some will even hobble in and out of our lives.. some we will wish would just leave and others we will always wish will return.. but no matter what while they were here there was something to be learned from them.
hold fast to those that mean the most and dont let go.. dont close your eyes to life for a second.. there are no *re-dos* .. let the past lie where it is and move forward from it.. look forward to tomorrow because its always a new day!
laugh often.. love stronger.. live harder.. life is a one time trip so live each day like its your last.. concentrate on the positive and let go of the negative. no ones life looks as perfect as you think it does when your peeking in the windows.. everyone has closets .. some just share theirs more freely than others.
