Today's
Meditation:
If
my today were to be exactly how I would like it to be, it
probably wouldn't be much like the today I'm going to
have. There would be much more free time in there, and
there would be time for writing and reading and doing things
that are more hobbies than work. A couple of the
people who are in my life probably wouldn't be in there,
especially those who cause a great deal of strife and
stress.
But
my life is as it is, and while I can work my way towards my
wants and towards making life what I would really like it to
be, the fact is that today is here, and it is how it
is. It has bumps and blemishes and great things and
some things that aren't so great. What will make this
day truly positive or not, of course, is how I choose to see
all of the elements of my own day, and what I choose to make
of everything.
If
I focus on the negatives and make the most out of them, then
guess what my day's going to be like? If I focus on
the positives and make the most out of them, then guess
what's going to happen?
For
better or for worse, life has given me many gifts.
They probably aren't the gifts that I would have asked for,
and they probably all aren't what I would see as positive,
but here they are. I can make the best out of them and
make my life into something that I truly will enjoy, or I
can sit around and wish that my life were somehow better.
My
life is up to me, isn't it?
