Dreamer "looking up" at the camera |
I've been dwelling a lot lately on getting out of the negative
mindset. I don't even try to get into it, but it's just sometimes the default
especially in certain situations. However everything can be so different when
we simply learn to look at things with a positive light.
I think the key to an optimistic outlook
is having gratitude to God and faith that He's good. When I look around my life
with a feeling of thankfulness it's very easy to feel positive. I'm grateful
for my adorable daughter, my furry pets, my homey apartment, my washing
machine, my lunch. I'm grateful for my hardworking husband and the technology
that allows me to keep in touch with my wonderful parents, siblings and friends
overseas. I'm grateful for my friends here and the amazing experiences I'm
having. I think the key to the "glass is half full or half empty"
metaphor is to be grateful you have the water at all, and maybe even gratitude
that it's only half filled because someone got to drink the other half?
And of course I'm primarily grateful
because I can look up, I can belief in God who gave us water and our families
and this planet we call home. I'm grateful for the relationship I have in Him
and that I know since He's the source and I can trust in Him I don't ever need
to despair. There's always a source of hope.
