Take It Positively

All of us have these struggles, problems, hindrances, whatever you call them. Its a situation where you want to give up on all the things that you are going through. Its not also new to hear these words: "there is no problem that God will give that you cannot solve."

Just like in Mathematics, every problems has a solution, whether this is Algebra or the subject I hate the most, Integral Calculus, it has a solution. However, formula such as the ones used in Algebra does not apply to our real lives, here, we really need to do something, think about it many times, until we find out what is the best thing to do. In our lives, trial and error is not possible, because we are dealing with reality.

We experience emotinal stress all the time, and our only outlet is to burst things out, curst them all, curse the one causing you the pain, curse the situation you are into, curse everything.. We don't realize a lot of people out there are experiencing worst things than what we have. Once I cursed my life, why don't I have things other has, I'm doing all the things that needs to be done but what comes back? Nothing...

One night I was watching television, then a story about a child was shown, her mother was in jail, her father was gone, she has nobody but herself. The child lives beside the jail where her mother was into, and every afternoon, her mother will throw a bag of foods, I don't know if I can call that "food," it was a leftover of other prisoners, the walls of the prison was built with barb wire, and luckily the bag was not torn, the child has supper for that night. Everyday, that situation happen, the child no longer go to school because she only has 50 pesos on her hand everyday. Sometimes she goes to school, sometimes no. She has a dream, to become a lawyer so she can defend her mother.

Now, what is my point about this story? In our life, once we will feel deprived, so down, that we want to give up. But, have you ever thought that some one out there, who really needs help, more than you do? We must take it positively, every problem that we encounter. If you have no shoes, at least you have 2 feet, and you can walk.. Your hair is so dry, and you don't look good, at least you're healthy, unlike those who have cancer. You don't have those fabulous dresses that actresses wore? At least, you have a dress, and a pair of jeans that you can wear, unlike those out there, wearing nothing at all..

We should always look on the positive side on the situation that we have, even having the worst situation... Not so easy? Try it, it will make you feel good...
