I am a fairly positive person. I generally think well of others and see the good in situations despite many set backs. I am blessed to be this way. I was talking to my niece the other day, she is 16. Ever other phrase from her mouth is "I'm screwed." After listening to her for years I finally let her in on a little secret. That if you think bad things, bad things will happen; if you focus on good things, good things will happen. Some like to call it prayer, some meditation, some like to call it "The Secret."
Yes can we not all remember the big rage six or seven years ago? The Secret, the one being kept since the beginning of time, how to achieve all your hearts desires! Of course we all know that it isn't exactly fool proof, but there is some truth in it.
I truly do see the glass half full. When I was laid off, I was thrilled to go back to school. When I realized I had missed my scholarship application deadline, I decided that it must be for a reason. There are lessons to be learned and growth to be had in every hardship. So next time you think the world is falling down around you, try and see what good is coming from it even if you don't see it.
