Search for and cherish the positive

Tweet

Things in our lives are not going to go according to plan all of the time. Nor is anyone likely to have exactly what they want, when they want it, and how they want it all of the time. This is a fact of life. However I have heard of and seen a great many friends and aquaintances sink into the blues and even deep depressions over this simple fact of life. "The only people who get what they want all of the time are babies." What you can try to do to secure a much more positive and upbeat perspective on your life is to search out the positives in every situation both good and bad in your life. Even though there may be a grey cloud or two blowing around the skies of your emotional landscape, try looking at it this way, "The bigger the grey cloud the more silver there is in the lining!"Rather than lamenting and getting bummed out about the people, places, and things that you cannot have right now, cherish the people, places, and things that you do have near to hand and try to make the most of every moment because as we get older we lose more and more of the people who are important and instrumental in our lives. When we have them with us in the here and now familiarity and convenience can make us sometimes forget to hold dear each precious moment that we are given with our beloveds. Everything in your life serves the greater good and the greater glory, not only of God, but of the glorious beauty that is you inside and out. Be grateful for what you do have rather than bummed that you don't have everything that you want right now. Those things will come in time, when both you and time are ready for them. Don't you agree?
