Instead of frowning, we smiled, and instead of crying we laughed?
What if, instead of saying "But," we said "Okay,"
Or, maybe this is just crazy, but what if we tried seeing things with more than just our own eyes? Looking at things from not only our own point of view, but also the person next to us, and maybe the guy across the street.
You can disagree, or you can agree. You can take a step down, and in doing so maybe you'll be a bit higher, where you can get a better view of everything around you. Sometimes our stubbornness can get in the way of understanding the whole situation...
... So maybe I'm not making any sense here. But I do truly believe that there is always a possibility for a positive, if you are open for it to come to you. And if you can become open to positivities, you might find yourself suddenly surrounded by only things that will help you grow into better person, and you might find stress a smaller factor in your life, and you might possibly find that at any given moment in your life, you're just happy.
It's a lot harder than it sounds, though. To exercise an open mind, to let go of our pride and our insecurities, to let the other person be right, to take bad news with a smile and the thought, "I will grow from this,"... It's hard and sometimes exhausting. But I am going to try my best and work my hardest to become a person that can do these things, because I want to be a person that is surrounded by the positives in life - I know they are always there, I just have trouble seeing them (as most of us do, right?). I am going to become a person that is, at any given moment, regardless of the situation I'm in, happy.
I'll let you know how it turns out. ;)
