I get bummed out from time to time because things aren't going as great in my life as I wish they were at the moment. I don't currently have a girlfriend. I don't have a high paying job. I don't drive a new car or live in a 'cool' apartment. I'm in debt. Poor me. To try and put things inperspective, I decided to make a list in my head of all the positive things in my life and one of the negative, or should I say, challenges to overcome. When I thought deeply about it, the list of positives was far longer than the list of negatives. I once thought it was lame and corny when some people emphasized the 'power of positive thinking', but I can confidently say now that I have joined the ranks of the believers. Yes, there are times where it's hard to look on the brighter side, but what are the options? Would we want to overcome our discouragement, or be overcome BY our discouragement? So things aren't perfect. SO WHAT?! Why do we mope about thing when so many others have it worse than we do?
