Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. – Joseph Campbell
I’m all about thinking positive, I really am. Does that mean I’m all happy sunshine, butterfly and rainbows? That would be a big fat hell to the no! My life is NOT all sunshine and unicorns – bad things happen, and things go wrong, frequently, because that’s kind of what life does. You don’t always have a choice about that. But you do have choices. You can choose to focus on what’s wrong and what’s making you unhappy, or you can look past it to the good. You can’t ignore bad things; that won’t make things better. Avoiding things isn’t the answer. But you can’t dwell on it either. Except it, and look for solutions and while you’re doing that, look for the good along the way. Looking for the good may not solve the problem, but it isn’t going to hurt you either, and who knows, if you look long enough, and hard enough for the good, you may find your solution at the same time.
