First Night Out: Tuesday 1/14/14

Hello friends! This week was off to a rocky start for me. It’s easy to become preoccupied by the negative aspects of life and it’s often more difficult to stay optimistic. No matter how difficult it may sometimes be to look on the bright side of things- there is always a bright side. “It’s astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.” Things may not always be going well, but I think we can all find comfort in knowing that there are some really wonderful things in store for us. Just because today is a bad day doesn’t mean that tomorrow won’t be the best day of your life.

Although this world is hard, it’s full of something worth so much more. Our problems are so miniscule when viewed in the bigger picture and in comparison to what is out there for us to experience. “When you have a bad day, try and treat the world better than it treated you.”

One thing I have learned, and one thing I hope you can take out of this, is the fact that not everything is always in our hands. Sometimes, you don’t have control over what happens in your life. You do, however, have control over how you choose to react to it. If today was a bad day, make the conscious effort to do all that you can to make tomorrow an amazing day. Don’t dwell in the negativity- choose to be optimistic. All in all, the most important thing to recognize is that happiness is a conscious choice, not an immediate response.

Stop relying on others for your happiness. Start relying on yourself to get it, keep it and choose it every single day. If you want to be happy, be.

In hopes that this week will bring you nothing but complete and utter happiness,
