So much of life is how we choose to perceive things. And yes we have a choice. We can choose to find the negative parts of a situation or we can choose to find the positive. Choosing to see the negative has no benefit to you, so why not look for the positive, silver lining in everything?
For instance, I am going thru some hard times right now. My 10 year long marriage is coming to an end. Now I can look at this and try to find every little negative part of this or I can choose to see the good that could come from it. The growth that will come from this could be amazing. Sounds crazy I know, but stay with me. My relationship was not a positive, healthy relationship. As my friend so kindly told me, I was a being a doormat in my relationship. I gave and never received. I was surrounded by negativity and complaint and was never supported or built up in the way I deserved. And this is not to say I am perfect in any way. I really do believe my partner will benefit and grow from this fall out as well. The silver lining here for me is that despite all the stress and turmoil, I am getting a chance to start over. A chance to live the life that I always have wanted. I choose to see the that the glass in this situation is not just half full, but is spilling over the top of the cup!
This mentality can apply to anything in your life. Having trouble at your job? Look as it as an opportunity, not a negative experience. Maybe it’s just the Universe pointing you in a different direction. Maybe it’s time for an awesome new job that will make your life even better! And yes, it’s sounds a little hokey, but I really do believe that there is an almighty power directing you in your life. Call it the Universe or call it God, or whatever you want, but just know if you get attuned to this higher power life and listen to it, life will be so much better!
So remember, you attract the energy you send out. Keep thinking positive, glass half full thoughts and good things will come your way!
