I have come to realize most people are ok with embracing negativity and thinking life is out to get them. This isnt true. Can we change all aspects of our life? Simple answer is no. What you should do though is focus your energy on what you can change. Do not live a life where your emotions take charge. You take charge. Remember no one can hurt you, upset you, or make you angry unless you allow them to. A lot of people say I am wrong about this. Think about it for a second though. If you own you then you own your emotions and not the other way around. Do not ever surrender to life. Life is something you can live and beat. Try to bring that person up. Do not allow them to bring you down to their level. It can be hard. It is a lot easier to fall into the woah is me trap. Dont do this. Most of the time even your negative friends get tired of seeing you in the doom and gloom. Be happy. Life is so short. Even if you live to be 110 think about how short that actually is. Do not have an regrets. Do everything in life that you want. Do not let anyone stop you. Do not let yourself stop you. The only person that can really hold you back is you. There are many people in jail or prison or dead. Why because they let their emotions own their life. Can you be happy 100% of the time no. I know this. I am not asking you to do this. I am asking you to not focus on things you can not change. Few facts:
Fact one: Guy cheats on wife. Wife is devestated. Yes you will be hurt. Do not focus on the part you can not change. You can not change the fact that it happened. Unfortunately. You will hurt. Do not let the hurt and pain and anger consume you though. Decide what you are going to do. If you are going to forgive them work towards forgiveness and the betterment of the relationship. If is something you can not forget move on to someone who deserves you. I know this is tough to forget. What I am asking you is to not let emotion consume you. Do not let it effect future relationships. Not all people are the same.
Fact two: It feels awesome to help people. I am not saying go out and break yourself financially. I challenge most of you to take and help one person a day for 30 days. You will feel incredible. This can be anything from complimenting the cashier at the gas station to cooking dinner for a sick friend to giving a homeless man a dollar hamburger to talking to an elderly person at retirement home. It is the little things that get people through on a day to day basis. The little things will not take any time away from your day. Help each other. This country and world was founded on people busting ass while neighbors helped each other bust ass. We need to get back to busting ass.
Take a 30 minute walk anywhere in your community and you will come across one person that you can help. Lets get back to our roots. I may only reach one person a day with this. But you know what if i have touched one person. One person that is having a shitty day then I have accomplished something. People do not realize their happy moods rub off on people as well as their negative moods. Be the person people want to be. Be the role model your kids look up to. Be the person people want to be aroung.
In closing We need more of this + and less of this -
Thank you for reading. See you tomorrow.
