Something better!

Have you ever had one of those moments where you stack up all the negatives and things going wrong in your life in a big old pile, either from the last five minutes or last five years and have a deluxe, big old pity party? Poor me. I'm so sad/bad/whatever you want to do use to describe yourself or your life at that moment.

Yep, I did that yesterday for about 60 seconds (it was a short party) then I kicked myself and realized two things that I constantly forget: 1. I am NOT in control-God is. So I need to stop trying to control life, situations and such. God has a much better plan for me. I am along for the ride and I need to enjoy it, I won't get a second chance.
2. I have soooooooooo much to be thankful about-my family, my health, my freedom, my life in general. I am so blessed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I need to stop taking this all for granted.

When ever you are rejected, be it a text or email that is not replied to or a job that you apply or interview for and don't get it hurts to think that you're not good enough or worthy of a reply or the opportunity or the time it takes. We all have it happen to us and we all have done it to others. It's just life. Get on with your life to more important things that you are suppose to be at.

I try not to put all my eggs into one basket due mainly to the fact that I'd rather keep my eggs close and not put them out there into one hope or dream. I'd rather have my eggs where I can see them and decide which basket they should go in where they can reach the most potential.

I have a friend who can't let things go and wallows when things go wrong, and constantly lets things that will not matter in a week or a month or a year hang over his head and bother him. On the outside looking in it seems silly. But in his world it is devastating and a source of unhappiness. And that's okay, it matters to him and if bothers him for a long time it's his decision. He doesn't have a lot of distractions or responsibilities in his life so his behavior is understandable. But there is so much more to life. We tend to remember the negatives and forget the positives. One cutting remark is remembered more than a hundred compliments. The world is hard and rough enough without us doing it to ourselves. 

So after my rejection and short pity party yesterday I topped things off with a sliver in the bottom of my foot too-ouch! Way to go Lynn. But stepping back and looking at things it was a great day! I could go into work when and as long as I wanted to. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I got something things accomplished at home and life is peaceful. So moving on to a new day and letting go of the negative is something I need to work on. And I need to remember that there is something better ahead...God has a plan.

Positive thought of the day: Look at the positive potentials that life has and is offering you rather than the negatives. Every day is a new opportunity to become a better person and reach your potential. Live life and remember that there is always something better ahead!
