The fact is, no matter how hard our life might seem, we have a choice in how we look at that problem and situation in life. We can either think "wow, this really sucks and you no what? I am just going to pout and whine about it because that seems like the easiest thing to do." This is actually what I have been seeing. People making the choice to be negative.
I am not trying to pat myself on the back or anything, please believe me in that, but I have been asked why I am positive the majority of the time. That is because I try to choose to be positive and to not take the blessings in my life for granted. It's not as easy as being negative and pessimistic and there are days when that is all I want to be is negative, but life is SO MUCH BETTER when I choose joy and remember that I have a Savior who created me and loves me everyday and enough to die on a cross for me! If that is not enough reason to be joyful, I don't know what is.
Choose Joy!
