Life is ugly. It's hard and challenging and painful. It's heartbreaks and its scary. Its push you down and then kick you and throws a bill on you for what its done to you. Life doesn't care if you're a sinner or a saint, rich or poor - whether you can handle a hard time or not.
Life is also beautiful. It's miracles and love and luck. It's overcoming the odds, unimaginable joy, laughter, and gifts you with things you never thought possible. Life doesn't care if you're a sinner or a saint, rich or poor - whether you deserve the good or not.
Life is made up of two people. Those who choose to focus on the good and those who choose to focus on the bad. It is always a choice. Because while you can't always control what happens to you, you can control how you react to it. You can be in the middle of gut wrenching all consuming life events and yet you STILL have a choice: let it define you or choose to let it motivate you.
I see you on Facebook, on IG, Tweeting - I see you expressing negativity, yelling about how life isn't fair. And you're right - life isn't fair. It won't ever be fair. Don't worry about why things happen to you. Don't point fingers at people who "have it easier." Someone always has it better and someone always has it worse.
You have a choice: make life sparkles and cupcakes and rainbows, or let it defeat you. I choose to embrace the pain, experience the hurt, but work my way back to positivity through choosing to be happy. You literally only get one shot at life - this is not a drill - how are you going to live it?
