Why do we become so obsessed with the negative situations in our life to the point that we ignore all the positives? I think we need to learn that we can stay positive and focused on the better things without letting the negative go unresolved.
I feel like sometimes in life a situation can become so consuming that it is always on our minds like a hamster on a wheel. But that hamster is going nowhere and using all its energy on a circumstance that it cannot fix just by fixating on it. I want to train my attitude and thoughts to be focused on all the good things, even if they are the smallest part of my day, and learn that I can still find a solution to the obstacle without letting it define my life.
I have been completely obsessing over a boulder that I cannot move myself. It was like I had my legs and arms wrapped around it with my nails digging it because it was NOT FAIR that this was in my way. I used all my energy focusing on how I did not deserve this and etc etc...Guess what? Draining myself and becoming a person I didn't even like being did not do shit except hurt me more. Life is 10% what happens to you (the boulder) and 90% how you respond to it (take yo'self off that damn rock and back off...focus on all the million great things you have and learn that eventually things will fall into place, especially since your attitude will be right).
If I had been focusing all on the things that make me happy I would BE happy. I had to learn that just because something isn't the way I want it does not mean it is going to go away when I want it too. I can be positive and focused on other things and still supervise the removal of the bullshit.
