I came across this picture on Pinterest the other day (which I just realized that I had used in the last post). I immediately had to pin it probably because the way that it looked, and I like reading quotes. As I was pondering on this quote, I realized that I myself hadn't been thinking this way. As happy as I was, I tend to have a pessimistic mindset, doubting myself and seeing the worst out of situations. I will admit it is something that I still struggle with, but with time, I will improve. Being the pessimist myself, it's been a struggle at times to think positively. With all the tragedies and difficulties of life, it's hard not to think of all the horrible things going on around us. It's sad to think that the world isn't always a happy place.
It is very difficult for me to succumb to change; In fact, I don't think many people like change. In order for me to move forward, I have to change my mindset, and the way that I have been thinking. It's not easy to forget the pain and all the horrible things that have happened to me, but it's made me a stronger person. Life is full of lessons to teach and there's so much to look forward to. Being positive is just a stepping stone.
Honestly, I don't like sharing things that are very personal on the Internet, but I felt like this is something that I had to get out there. I don't know how many people I can influence or help, but I want to try to change myself and push myself to become better than the person I was yesterday. I'm striving to improve my lifestyle. It's scary, but like MLK Jr. says, "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
