Thankful

Do you ever find yourself being negative, anxious, or resentful? If you say no, you are lying to yourself. I find I feel this way many times throughout the course of a day. I start thinking about all the things that I am stressed about, and things that are not seeming to go my way. I hate feeling this way...but I am human. We tend to think our problems are meant for the world to hear; however, what the world needs is not another pessimistic word. The world needs love, compassion, and the light of Christ. If you are constantly negative, then how can you enjoy all the blessings you have in your life. Think you don't have any...? I challenge you to get a piece of paper and write down at least three things that you are thankful for. Next, write down three people who you know are going through a rough time. Finally, write down what you can do to change the negative things in your life. I did, and it changed my entire thinking. Now, this isn't going to magically solve your problems...and you may feel down again, but remember this little trick (and that God is always with you)!
