Have you ever gone to dinner with someone who complains about everything?... The prices are too steep, the waiter isn't very friendly, the food is too hot, etc. etc. Have you ever been around someone who looks at life as "the glass is half empty." I have been exposed to this of late and have decided on some things!
-I will choose to look on the bright side of things, "the glass is half full"
A pessimist see the difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty- Winston Churchill
-I will choose to be a light in the dark world we live in
-I will choose not to let others criticism bring me down
-I will choose to raise my kids how we think fit and not how others think we should raise them
-I will choose to be myself even when I don't fit into the mold of what the world wants me to be
The wind will blow us this way and that but we can choose what attitude to take when we are blown from here to there.
I love the saying, "You can choose to focus on the dust on the table or the rose in the glass!" Being married to a NYer I am always exposed to this phenomenon! :) Here's to keeping positivity alive!!!
ReplyDeleteThis post sounds like a night out with my in-laws one completely miserable night out! It was such a waste, instead of focusing on spending the short amount of time we had together, they decided to complain about EVERYTHING! I can only hope the waiter didnt spit in our food....
