I don't know if you guys have noticed or not, but I'm just a little bit cynical. And frustrated. And possibly a little bit negative.
Which really pisses me off because I feel positive, but I find myself complaining. A lot.
The shitty part is that it's kind of a joke among my friends that I have the worst fucking luck of anyone we know. I mean, a lot of BAD BAD things happen to me. At this point, I just have to laugh at them because it's just the way it is. I try to use the magical powers of The Secret to get some good shit coming my way, but every few weeks I have a break down when, oh I don't know, my water gets shut off or I rip the front end off of my car.
Then today, somebody posted this super awesome quote on their FB that said, "We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" Unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way."
I don't know why that really struck me, but it did. I definitely have WAY WAY more good things happen in my life than bad, but it just seems like the bad stuff pounds me in the ass over and over sometimes and it's hard to not bitch about it.
I'm not saying I'm all the sudden going to be this super positive person, because let's face it, I get a laugh out of my negativity sometimes. But I am saying that I'm going to try to shift the focus a little and be more stoked about the good things and less whiny bitch about the bad.
That quote is pretty awesome... leaves you thinking.
ReplyDeleteI complain a lot about all the negativity and crap that happens in my life, but I also often have a good laugh about it too ;)
It often does feel like the bad things keep pounding away at your life- I can certainly relate to that. I try to remind myself all the time that I have a roof over my head, I have my husband, my kitties/doggies, life is good... messy and not the way I wanted it, but it's good. It's really hard to remind myself of that some days. And I don't think anyone can blame anyone for not begin able to keep that in mind all the time, we are only human. We get by one day at a time.
