Life. It can be downright hard but it can simply beautiful. Life can be depressing and difficult or it can be fun and enlightening. It really all depends on how a person perceives it. It was once said that the difference between an individual who is successful and a person who won’t achieve the goals and desires of their life…is simply how they deal with circumstances that they experience. They can either learn from a negative experience and grow…or wallow in self-pity and disappointment and never make their life better.
Life is a peculiar thing…everything in it has two sides. How you choose to perceive and manage each event will affect the direction of your life.
This leads me to the following little reminder that I thought would give you “food for thought” when thinking about the virtues of life.
HATE has four letters…so does LOVE
ENEMIES has seven letters…so does FRIENDS
NEGATIVE has eight…so does POSITIVE
UNDER has five…so does ABOVE
CRY has three letters…so does JOY
ANGER has five letters…so does HAPPY
RIGHT has five letters…so does WRONG
HURT has four letters…so does HEAL
It means that Life is like a double-edged sword…..
so transform every negative side into an aura of positivity…
We should ALWAYS CHOOSE THE BETTER SIDE OF LIFE!

I am going to steal this for my Run It Forward:Silver Linings from the Patient. It dovetails to an inspiration I got last night called: “Where’s your sense of tumor? Laughter IS the best medicine.

I always say, “Your perception is your reality.” I’ve been knocked down, but I keep getting up because life is good, even if there are some bad people. 😊

Yes, we live in a world of duality – light and dark, sorry and joy, droughts and floods, life and death, but we get through it if we remember that in each breath we take, we are taking in the future, and in each breath we expel, we are leaving the past behind. And when we are just between the two, we are in the now. It’s a good demonstration of how short life is, and how precious.
