From The Heart: Postives and Negatives

This is something that's been on my mind a lot and something that I've been telling a lot of people lately. I don't get why people always gotta pick out the bad in things and blow them out of proportion. Yeah I know things get bad, but thinking about it and whining about it isn't going to get you anywhere. It's already bad, you might as well try to find some good. It's like when you get a 90% on a test and your parents get cheesed cuz you didn't get higher....are you serious? Why are you trying to find the bad when there's good right in front of you, look at the fact that the person got a 90%. Or like this...someone get's like a 60% on a test and your parents are flipping out cuz you got a 60%...yeah you got a 60%, but look at all the other things you did well on, all the 90's you got. What I'm trying to say is, whether it's bad, you can still find some good in it...and when something is good, stop trying to find something bad about it. It's like when you find the perfect girl or guy but you don't believe it and you have to find something wrong with them cuz there's no way there's perfect, appreciate what you have and stop trying to find trouble. A lot of people are sad as of late with relationship, friendship, family issues, etc. I say...and I always have said...that if you lose one friend (no matter how important he/she is), don't weep about it, yeah it hurts I know cuz they meant a lot to you, but look at all the people you still have. You're getting upset about ONE person, letting ONE person ruin you and it's all you think about when you have SO MANY friends still by your side. It's like you get chicken, but you want steak...but when you get the steak, then you want lobster. What I'm trying to say is...even when things are bad, try finding some good, dwelling and sulking in the bad won't do anything. And when something is good, stop thinking it's too good to be true and that you have to find something wrong with it. Appreciate what you have, stop being sad about what you don't. I guess that's all I have to say....like how're you going to let ONE thing ruin your day, make you sad, etc...when you have SOOO MANY things to be happy for. Keep your head up.
