Repost: October 31, 2014 Life is not just about the good things or not just about the bad things. It is both. It all depends where you focus your attention. -Ann Marie Aguilar Do you ever feel like you cant catch a break? Or you have a bad streak of luck? Is nothing going your way? It has happened to most of us and we get discouraged beyond belief when we think the whole world and universe is against us. Its sad when someone already has a base of depression or lack of self esteem because then it seems impossible to see the silver lining in just about anything. Look deeper at the self and try to stop the mind from going nutty. Its complicated because you kind of have to treat your mind like its own entity. You are in charge of what thoughts come in and out. You have to tell yourself that you are in charge. Not the other way around. Let spirit speak to ego. Appreciate the times that are good. That way there is a balance between good and bad. There isnt anything wrong with having a couple of bad experiences. We put too much focus on the bad stuff that happens and we put little praise on when it actually goes really well. Its rare to hear someone say, What did I do right that everything is going so well? Im so happy for myself. We lack in giving ourselves credit for the good times and achievements and instead we underline everything that is wrong. If we were to change our perspective and reverse our complaining, were merely diminishing our bad thoughts like we currently do with our good thoughts. Putting great things in the lime light for a change allows these positive thoughts to be shot out into the universe. We are in charge of what makes us feel great and how we interpret our shortcomings. I only wish people could see the good in everything, that way there would be less suffering. People would be less offended, in fact, there would be little to no conflict if they just saw things for what they were instead of over analyzing what they think is wrong. Why complicate our thoughts and focus on the bad when we should focus our energy on whats right. Its a lot of work and its just over the top to make a problem than to choose to be content and happy with everything. We dont have to over complicate our thoughts and flood it with elaborate stories and over analysis and assumptions. We can basically train ourselves to think simple, to think positive, to find the good above all else. If youre in a bad place now and youre constantly in your mind fighting your demons, find the silver lining. This is part of your journey and your life. It should be part of our mission to always see whats right in a situation. We can all live our lives with a new set of positive eyes. Look towards whats great because the moment that youre in a bad place, it wouldnt matter because you are strong enough to choose victory.❤️ Karen A. Baquiran
