I can’t complain.
I know who I was. I know who I am. I know who I do not want to be in the future. In the short 26 years I’ve been around, I’ve learned a few things:
- If I’m having a life crisis, someone somewhere is probably dealing with something worse. There are worse things in life than a lost pair of glasses, and I’m happy that I can afford new ones when I get a bit ditzy. ;)
- We too often ruminate over the bad things, when we should be celebrating the good ones - even if something didn’t go entirely right, we should be happy about the things that did.
- On that same note, positivity begets positivity. My life didn’t get better until I started being thankful for everything I have, and it made dealing with the bad parts a lot easier.
- I should embrace failure more often. It’s not comfortable, but I learn a lot.
- It’s not always about me. That’s what we all default to - we are who we know best. But really, when it comes down to it, my team, my friends, my family, the world…sometimes they need my help more than I need to complain.
- My life is awesome. I’ve been through stuff, but I made it through okay. I’m stable, I’m comfortable, and I’m happy.
It was so tiring to be so negative all the time. I’d rather be tired from doing good things.
