How Do You See It?

The following is not my writing, but I thought it was worth sharing. 

Today was the absolute worst day ever.

And don’t try to convince me that

There’s something good in every day

Because, when you take a closer look,

This world is a pretty evil place.

Even if

Some goodness does shine through once in a while

Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.

And it’s not true that

It’s all in the mind and heart

Because

True happiness can be obtained

Only if one’s surroundings are good.

It’s not true that good exists

I’m sure you can agree that

The reality

Creates

My attitude

It’s all beyond my control.

And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that

Today was a good day.

Now read from bottom to top.

I know I write about perspective a lot, but it is so important how we look at things. You know the saying about the cup being half full or half empty. As a believer, we must learn to look at things in a positive way so that we can repel the negative that is slung at us daily.
