I
think often times we think about how much stuff is going on in our
lives and then proceed to freak ourselves out with the amount of stress
we put on ourselves. The thing is, this is usually our own doing. I
mean, sometimes I get to this point in my life where I stop and ask
myself: How did I get here in the first place? These situations we call
"hardships" are something that everyone experiences, so why not learn
from it and move on? But rather, we dwell on things we cannot control
or can't change because, and I'm speaking from experience, humans are
naturally stubborn. I know, this must be a huge shock, but when you get
down to it, that is something we all struggle with. We want things to
be perfect in life, which is only natural since I don't think anyone
just wants to fail all the time. I think that I personally try to focus
too much on all that's going wrong in my life that I fail to see that I
have so many more blessings to be thankful for than problems to be
disgruntled about. You know what I'm saying? This isn't to say that
people don't have massive things they're going through, everyone does,
but maybe just take the time to stop and think to yourself: Do I really
have to invest so much of my time worrying? Isn't it better to spend
time on things that will make you happier? It's just so funny to me how
I think about how horrible my life is, and then if I just take a step
back I realize I don't have it bad. I have a family, a roof over my
head, friends, and that alone is all the reason that I don't have a
"Hard Knock Life."
So
the thought for today? Take a step back and try to see your life from a
broader perspective. And don't take yourself too seriously :)
