Pessimistic Much?

Hey friends,

So lately I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and self-evaluation and it’s been…interesting to say the least haha I mean, I’m not going to lie, it’s a painstaking process but you figure out a lot about yourself and sometimes you can catch something that could turn bad in the long run and turn it good. So bittersweet indeed. But, on a similar note, just recently I was talking to one of my friends online and the whole conversation started off with her saying that she “should have known” and that “it was all so obvious”.  So I asked her about it. I’m not sure on the specifics but we came to the conclusion that our circle of friends are all going through some amount of test or trial. And that got me thinking about what I know about tests and trials and about how they always have something better on the other side once the test or trial is over. I can’t tell you the joy that came over me because I thought about how my life would be once I was finished with this test. It was a little scary at first simply because of my thinking at the time but it was also far better than I couple possibly comprehend at that point in my life.

So with that being said, it amazes me how pessimistic people can be when they’re going through a hard time. Like I can remember on more than one occasion that I was grumpy or not doing so well and someone tried to encourage me. But I was took focused on the negative to allow myself to receive comfort and encouragement. I still do it sometimes. I’m not sure why though.

So I want you to take this away through the rest of your day. If you’re going through a hard time (test, struggle, trial…) remember that it will not last forever and the ending result will be brighter and better than your current situation. And allow people to encourage you! You’re feel better, trust me

Till next time…
