Breath of Fresh Air

I took a deep breath and realized that the wait is over. Isn't it amazing that you go through a million and one heartache/heartbreaks, pains, trials, and rough situations to only find yourself on top in the end? Who would have thought right? Well, hopefully you... People who personally know me, know that I use the phrase "I'm winning" a lot or "losing". I use this playfully and literally, but when I think about life, I'm thinking about either ascension or descension. So I honestly believe that either you're winning or losing, there is no middle ground. 

Let's make this clear right now, I'm not claiming to be a God or a know-it-all where I have all the answers to all of your problems. Hell, I don't even have the answers to all of my problems, let alone yours. I can say this though, winning is all in your attitude. I haven't always been the most positive person around. I naturally look for the bad when things are too good because I feel there is always bad following good. I hate surprises and I hate the feeling clueless to  what will happen next because I'm not prepared for the situation. I just recently learned how to go with the flow and let nature take its course. If you're anything like me, I get it. I know this may be the toughest thing you struggle with daily but it was worth the lesson. If you're not like me, then Im just letting you know that I finally understand your logic. Thanks.

Let's be clear. Terrible things happen in our life. I don't know why. It doesn't matter if you're good or bad, something hard will hit you at least once or twice in your time on this earth, trust me, we all have our days and no one is exempt. What matters the most is the aftermath of the storm, not the storm itself. Keep your spirits high and attitude at its best. For starters, stop complaining so much. It's life and you won't make it out alive anyway. Complaining won't do anything but stress you out more and create hype around the very problem you're trying to get rid of. How is this helping you any? It's not, so stop it. Next thing you have to remember is that you are defeated if that's how you respond to your hardships. If you believe you won't get through this and this is way to much for you, then you will eventually fail. Winning is a mindset. Most people who have any accomplishments in their lifetime often say, "I always knew I would get it or make it so I never gave up." Keep fighting the good fight, it'll pay off in the end.

Another smart move is to watch the company you keep. Positive people bring positive energy and releives the negative out of your life. How do they do this? They make your problems smaller than you. In all actuality, they are. Your support system will often times complete you because you will depend on them the most. I'm thankful for all the people who are surrounded in my life, because they made me realize that my pain has paid off.

Finally. A breath of fresh air.
