If you look for the bad in life, you'll find it!
I'm not saying lie to yourself, but I can tell you from personal experience that so much of what rattles around in your head has more to do with your perspective than with your real circumstances. If you look at yourself and at your surroundings and think negatively about them, then you start a cycle that is hard to break. But if you prayerfully spin your bad thoughts into truly positive, uplifting, thankful thoughts, then you start to focus on the blessings rather than the difficulties in your life.
Don't put your hope into things that change...relationships, money, talents, beauty, even health. Set your sights on the one thing that can never change: Trust in your Heavenly Father!
You've seen people treat this world like it was their permanent home. It's not. You've seen people pour time and energy into life like it will last forever. It won't. You've seen people so proud of what they have done, that they hope they will never have to leave...they will. WE ALL WILL. We are in transit.
The happiest people I know are the ones who have learned how to hold everything loosely and have given the worrisome, stress-filled, fearful details of their lives into God's keeping.
Joyfully,
Dalinda
