Life in general is based on attitude and the decisions we make. We have to learn to work through our problems not hide from them. It also isn't good to blame others for the problems in our life. Sometimes people make mistakes but when they do they shouldn't be made to live with those mistakes for the rest of their lives. They should be encouraged to learn from those mistakes and move on. Some things will go away if you ignore them but most won't. You have to learn to face your problems and find the best way to solve them. Life is not always easy, and it's not always fair, but it is always an experience. We have to decide what we are going to learn from that experience, how we are going to let it affect us in our every day life and then bearing all this in mind ----------Keep On Truckin'. And remember to be thankful and to realize that sometimes we have to work through something in order to find the buried blessing at the bottom.
Stress thrives on attention,
And tends to shrink without it.
Worries and what-ifs only claim time.
If we let them they just won't quit.
Shift your focus away from your problems.
Try to see possibilities;
Instead of counting your curses,
And feeling hostilities.
Count blessings instead of curses.
Count flowers instead of weeds.
What grows in a garden depends on,
The soil and the type of seeds.
Don't sit amid doubts and misgivings,
Under dark clouds of worries and sighs.
We need rain as well as the sunshine,
And after there's warm summer skies.
Thank God for all of His blessings.
Be thankful for that which is yours.
Realize some blessings come in disguise,
And some we must gain through chores.
