My Life According to Me

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

We all need inspiration.


Hey, how many times do we complain about how hard our lives can be. i know that personally, I do it quite often. I shouldn't, but I do because of my attitude. A good friend of mine said that happiness is an attitude,and to manage that attitude, we have to choose to be happy. I believe her and can apply it to my daily life. Another person I can pick on would be my cousin. She broke her arm in July of 2008. If you want all of the gory details then here they are. * She had a compound fracture and her bone near the wrist came through the skin and she had to have surgery. She had a nail put through her bones and had a plate and 7 screws put in her arm too. She was the first person in the Magic Valley to have this surgery.* After the surgery, I volunteered my help in helping her recover. As we sat and watched T.V., she kept telling me not to feel bad for her because it could have been much worse and that it was preventing something worse from happening. ( She was a cradler on the cheer leading team.) She was very optimistic and her motto is " everything happens for a reason." Anyway, before we complain, we need to think about how easy our loves can become if we have a positive attitude.

  2. Its so true! We do often complain about our own circumstances even though we don't usually have it all that bad! Happiness is totally an attitude. I was always telling girls in Young Women's that they could choose to be happy or they could choose to be miserable, but it was their choice!
