Life is something else, man! You get the good, but you also get the bad.

This is LIFE. 

There’s nothing we can do about it other than changing our perspective. Will you choose to waddle in your pity or will you keep on going/growing/moving forward? Now, I’m not saying that you have to be STRONG all the time and act like your reality isn’t kicking you six times in your derrière! When life throws you lemons, ohhhh TRUST…them lemons can be filled with some extremely sour juices!

BUT…

You should surround yourself with some sweet SWEET people/places/things/sources that will help you make lemonade from those lemons!

I believe that we aren’t born to bend every time the hard winds blow! We are stronger than that. Let me correct that…

With GOD, we are stronger than that! 

…for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances. I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation — to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Philippians 4: 11-13

In this crazy-beautiful life of mine, I am learning that the great things that happen to me are BLESSINGS, and the not so good things are LESSONS! 

In order for a seed to become a fruit or a FLOWER, it must have a little dirt. In order for that seed to grow into a fruit or FLOWER, it needs a little rain!

Are you “picking up” what I’m “putting down”?

Ahhhh, I think you got it!

I say all of this to say that we need a little bit of struggle in our lives to wake us up, to teach us a lesson, or to make us stronger. How can you say that you are strong if you never went through a struggle or overcame something? We will all have moments where we are at our lowest.Even in those moments, understand that your perspective changes how you react to those hard times.

Learn to distract yourself from the negativity around you and find something positive. Do something you REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoy! Do something that makes you…LAUGH!

Laughter is oh so good for the soul!

Laugh until you almost fall! LOL

Ease your soul with this remedy. It feels good. It helps to change your perspective. Don’t take life too seriously. The day is still beautiful. The birds are still chirping. The sun is still shining. You are still breathing. Take each moment as BLESSINGS and LESSONS.

Laughter brings the COLOR back to the dark areas of your life…

The reality may be all crazy, but the TRUTH is that you will GET THROUGH it. The TRUTH is that you were born to OVERCOME it. The TRUTH is that you are beautiful. The TRUTH is that you have PURPOSE. The TRUTH is that you are LOVED. The TRUTH is that you are already HEALED in more ways than one. The TRUTH is that I am HERE for you. The TRUTH is that GOD is HERE for YOU.
