Life is always trying to get you down. It may not be personal, since it tends to strike anyone it finds. If you are feeling good, enjoy it while you can.
We try to be happy, and this is best. Or else our lives will devolve into misery after misery. When getting out of bed becomes a drudgery, it is best to just stay put.
Staying upbeat is like swimming against the current. There is so much negativity you will be swept downstream. Nevertheless, we must fight with our all.
It is easy to focus on what is bad and entirely miss all the good. The latter are like precious gems: limited in quantity but the quality shines. And it makes the rest tolerable.
There is much to endure, and we must bear our burdens. No one can do it for us. Those who put their problems off on others are part of the problem.
Hardships try our patience, but we can overcome. Focus on what makes life worth living. The rest is just the dirt to be cleared away to reveal the buried treasure.
Yes, there is indeed treasure among all that trash. What works in the world does not function by default: the people who keep things going push us onward.
ReplyDeleteEverything would have fallen apart without them. Let's just hope they don't fall apart. Or there will be nothing left.
DeleteThere is good out there, and it is in larger amounts that we can possibly imagine. The problem is that its so scattered about that it gives off the illusion that there isn't much of it. What we need to do is bring all the good together whenever we can. People who love desire to work together and create more love. Go Figments!
ReplyDeleteA little good goes a long way. That is why the world is still turning. If the light goes out, the world will be plunged into darkness.
