Clearly there is two ways to look at every situation. Making the conscious decision to look at the positive in everything can be difficult, however it is most rewarding.
I was told recently that I needed to start thinking with my eyes and less with my heart. I don't think that is true. Although I love the person who said it to me and love even more that they were looking out for me in telling me, I choose to be the way I am.
As I have learned from writing my book, I created me. I would not change the experiences, big or small, that molded me into the person I am today. I am strong, independent, loving and a true friend to those I call friend. I must be doing something right because when I look around me I have some amazing people in my life. Some have been here the whole time, some are back and some are new. Regardless they are there and there for a reason.
The trait I am still trying to master is absorbing the love I am given. I can freely admit that I am a giver, however I do not easily receive. I also don't trust easily. If someone has my trust they have earned it. I firmly believe that is OK, everyone should take the time to feel comfortable in every situation. I know that I am this way because of my past and the individuals that have let me down in life. I have gotten much better at allowing people to earn my trust. I also disconnect from those who prove they are not trustworthy.
Creating a life circle that is full of positive people and actions is healthy. I never realized how easily negativity from someone in your circle can affect the whole. I choose to let go of those people. That is the best thing I can do for my health.
