"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

Is this quote true or what??
Sometimes life gets complicated. Really complicated.
Even to the extent where we just want to give up because it seems easier than feeling pain.
Life can get overwhelming...stressful...frustrating...and make you want to scream your face off and quit.
But, it's funny to me how when you  finally decide to change your views on situations, it really makes a difference.

So instead of wishing you could change someone, change the way you view them. You don't have to agree with them, and you don't even have to enjoy them, but they are who they are and you just have to accept that. Help them out and be a good influence on them...sometimes thats all you can do.

Instead of wishing you could change the past, learn from your mistakes and move forward. Make the changes in your life now so that you don't have future regrets. Life is too short to be living in the past.

Instead of wishing that you could be someone else, think of all the people that want to be like you. Focus on all of your favorite traits and develop new ones that you would like in your life.

Instead of losing all hope and feeling like your world is ending, think of all the people who have it worse than you do. Reevaluate your situation and strive to be happier instead of dwelling on all the things that aren't going as planned in your life.

Life get's better. Life is full of happiness. Life is full of laughter.
And, "When happiness forgets you for a little bit, never fully forget happiness."
