The sun sets on another day…
The sky was red, dark red, crimson, maybe even a little more.
I sat thinking about the colors and all of the things that ran through my mind when I thought of color. It was a few happy thoughts and a few more.
It’s funny if you think about it. I know you’re sitting there waiting for me to tell you what is funny and I’m just going to say that “it” is funny. We seem to go on a virtual shopping spree each day to pick up the next best thing that keeps us energized and amazed. Even people you don’t think are energized and amazed somehow are full of finding something that they enjoy. I often find myself amazed by it, not because it is something that is amazing but because just about everyone has something that makes them feel good about life.
The funny people to me are the people that feel bad because feeling bad makes them feel good about life. That may seem like a reverse way of thinking but in reality it’s pretty straightforward. We are often amazed as much by negativity as by positivity.
I’ve talked about this many times before and tried to state that we should always guide towards the positive side. After all if you’re going down the positive side you’re going to enjoy yourself a little more and more importantly the people around you are going to feel a little bit better about themselves. They’re going to feel a lot better about themselves if you’re not grasping on to the negative. The negative is pretty easy but let’s look at the positive.
If you’re sitting here with me today reading you’ve got one thing going for you for sure, you’re probably alive. I’ll pause here for a second if you’re dead and let your vision slowly fade away and your last breath drop out on the ground. Just kidding. If you’re taking the time to read this blog then you’re breathing entity. The second instant win is you can read. There’s a third easy win you can see. There is a fourth easy win you’re able to comprehend and probably are wondering why I’m going down this ridiculous path right now.
My ridiculous point is that if you were a zombie you would instantly lose out on all of those. You have something to be thankful for right now. So be thankful. Grab the positive side and enjoy the moment. Stop letting the world slap you on the head and instead take a deep breath and enjoy it. Thanks.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you’re enjoying the moments. I hope you know how special you are. Mostly I hope that you can continue to find positive things in your life and stop focusing on the silly negative ones. The positive ones will win out anyway and if they don’t, there’s always being a zombie. I hope you find the positive path, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and arrrrghhhh…
