"Cynicism is
not realistic and tough. It's unrealistic and kind of
cowardly because it means you don't have to try." ~ Peggy Noonan
Good
morning!
All of my friends can attest that I have an
incredibly low tolerance for those who are cynical, pessimistic, or
buried beneath excuses. We all have challenges and obstacles
to face, and we all have the power to overcome them.
I was having a conversation with a new friend the other day.
She is a very sweet young lady who is bouncy, fun, energetic,
and optimistic. I actually thought she might have had a
pretty typical upbringing, because at age twenty she was vibrant and
ready to tackle the world. We began sharing about our pasts.
My parents were divorced shortly after my birth; her parents
had never been married. Neither of us had a real relationship
with our fathers, nor saw them often. We both grew up at
would be considered "poverty" level. She had lost her cousin,
who was like sister, to suicide. I had lost my
brother through a fatal reaction to a bee sting. Our
"nontypical" sharing continued.
I expressed my surprise at the life she had lived thus far in twenty
short years (just as I remember so many expressing that same semtiment
to me when I was twenty). She shared how many friends felt
"sorry" for her and how she couldn't stand that. She is happy
and confident with who she is and realizes that each experience,
although painful, made her into the young woman she is today.
I have said that exact statement many times. We
can't filter life and just take the good without the bad. We
are a sum of our experiences - but it is up to us whether that sum will
be positive or negative.
Your turn: No matter where you
have been, what you are facing, or what lies in your future, you can
overcome. Empower yourself!
Your affirmation: I empower myself to move
forward and find the resources and support to do so.
And as always,
don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And
when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
