life IS what YOU make it

I, apparently, woke up on the right side of the bed this morning. I am feeling revitalized (thank you Jesus) which is a great thing considering that Moet/Ciroc "drank" my bestie tried to kill me with last night...o well, as I stated before, I'm still Living (thanking God again!).

Last night, my family and I went to Class of '68's reunion, and in the back of my mind I wanted to be sort of negative. I was being sarcastic and satirical, but in the end, the joke was on me and I ended up learning a life lesson.

Lately, a lot of different things have been determining my attitude and my overall state of self. So, I prayed hard because being puppeted through life is not as easy as it looks. I was sick (literally) and tired (obviously). God got me to together and I could feel His goodness, I could feel my light shining within, but when it came down to going to this "old" people class reunion I was less than stoked. However, while I was there, I enjoyed myself to the nth degree, and it wasn't because of the drink. Something had clicked inside of me, a little voice of sorts, saying, "this is your life, not the people who are looking at you, not the people who may judge you...this IS your life." From that point, it was on.

Moral of the Story:

The "Gotcha-Gotcha" in being a positive happy person is actively BEING a POSITIVE HAPPY person!! Being positive and STAYING positive is an essential ingredient!! Negativity is not the driving force in a truly positive persons life. For example, you cannot want to be the best you because somebody doubts that you can...that's not real (&/OR) you can't say, "I am going to have a good day" or "I am going to have a good time at this reunion" but really feel the exact opposite...that's not real.

Life is how you see it. If you see the bad in everything, your life will be miserable, and I know a lot of people say, "Well, it's not that I'm seeing everything in a negative light, I'm a Realist." Being realistic doesn't mean that you have to be negative, there is good in the worst of the worst. You have to make the best of Every situation. Regardless of one individual "bad" situation or a multitude of them, your life IS and can only be what YOU make it.
