I've definitely been guilty at times of focusing on the negative instead of the positive & not appreciating my blessings...gotta love human nature. I have to remind myself to step back & look at the big picture & find the good that's buried in the bad, so I can learn & grow from it...even as painful as it is sometimes.
If you don't, the negative just weighs you down like an anchor. It's not like I've never had to step back - I've been fighting the negative a lot the last couple of weeks in my own life. But if I spend all my time thinking about what I can't have, or can't do, or can't be, in the end I'm contemplating my navel instead of moving forward.
thank u to my friend who comes from another country at the right time when am in the greatest depression
Thank you for the rep, Nyx. That's very true. I grew up in an extremely negative environment, & although I recognize the cycle & have been determined to break it, that thinking tries to take over sometimes. I've been through a lot in my life, & it's easy to get bogged down with all of the pain & strain that comes with bad experiences. I finally figured out that no matter how bad it gets, there is always something good to be gained from it. Even though I still struggle with it occasionally, that's where I try to keep my focus & it makes a huge difference.
I'm not big on the "everything happens for a reason" thing, but I'm big on "hey, this is reality, deal with it the best you can or wallow, your choice" thing.
I think there are a lot of things that happen for a reason, but I wouldn't say everything. Sometimes shit just happens & like you said, it's reality, & we either have to choose to deal it or let it have its way with us.
Some things you can change, some things you can't. That's been a hard lesson for me. I spent my life going around, over or under every obstacle in my path. I cannot out think MS. It's the one obstacle I'll never be able to just ignore or go around, and it's part of my life every minute. A friend of mine says that I never gave myself a chance to just slow down for a minute, so my body and brain conspired to MAKE me do that. I still suck at it, and think I'm *wasting* so much time that I could be productive. I was always a multi tasker, and doing less than 3 things at a time seemed like a colossal waste of productivity to me. But I do understand her point, and I'm trying
