So I have been doing a lot of thinking. I have been noticing a lot of people are in a funk at the moment. I tend to get caught up in my own negativity a lot too.
I always worry that I am not making enough money.
I want more things than I really need.
I stress about my roommate not being so clean.
I also feel lonely because I am not in a relationship.
But when I think about this things a little more.
I am lucky to have a job. It may not be making me 50,000 a year, but it's a job.
I have a lot of nice things like a flat screen t.v. and nice furniture.
I could be living in my old apartment with 3 other people that never cleaned.
I am fortunate to have my family and friends to support me when I am feeling down.
I like to read a lot of Sylvia Brown, Deepak Chopera, Wayne Dyer, and ect....
In almost all the book they say don't worry about the current situation, because everything is meant to be. I am a huge believer in fate. I believe everything happens for a reason. Also they all mention that worrying is a waste of energy. The energy can be focused on changing for the better. Here is a little exert from the book The Language of letting go.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn existences into a real life, and disconnected situations into an important and beneficial lesson. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Gratitude makes things right
Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy. There is no situation or circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible to gratitudes power. We can start with who we are and what we gave today, apply gratitude, then let it work its magic. Say thank you until you mean it. If you say it long enough , you will believe it.
The Language of letting go. Pg 218.
I am not religious, but I am spiritual. I don't usually say grace before a meal, but I can understand how doing that can remind us to be grateful for the things we have.
Youth posseses, wings feathered with poetry and sinews rippling with vison, whereby it carries the young aloft, beyond the clouds. There they see the comos flooded with prismatic light rays like the colors of the rainbow and hear life chanting anthems of glory and majesty. But before long those Lyrical wings are shredded by the storms of experience, and they plummet to the world of reality. The world of reality is a wierd mirror, wherin men see themselves diminished and distorted.

I find it's best to marvel at how incomprehensibly inane life can get and how hilarious that is. Our reality is some cosmic comedy that is ceaselessly absurd. Shit is just...weird.
