I Want To Count My Blessings, Instead Of ..

Ups and downs in life are very common.  Ironically, they make life even more interesting.  The experiences keep me going.  Life is not measured by the breaths that I take but by the moments that take my breaths away.

Life would not be life without the ups and downs.  It takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.  I have to choose which side I want to focus more.  The one that does not benefit me must be discarded completely.  

I should guard my thought process.  What I focus on will grow.  It is how energy works.  What I think becomes.  When I want my life to be positive, I should focus on the positive.  

I must let go what I do not want.  I should not fear myself with negative information or stories.  I should not spread negative news that have no base, no validity but only hearsay.

To nurture negativity will draw my life towards it.  I must not let negativity controls my mind.  Negativity has no great worth.  It makes life buried in misery.  It will drown life with ugly states of great unhappiness, emotional distress, sicknesses and diseases.

When I can make sense of the ups and downs of life, I will get to count my blessings.  Only when I empower the blessings that I shall find wonderful perspective in life.  Only when I acknowledge the blessings that there shall be no room for negativity to grow.

I have to ask my mind - why do you want to focus on negativity when the door in life is so wide open?  There are two sides to life, the positive and negative.  Which one do I want to live with?

I love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.
