Negativity is an Excuse

Journeying through life is no easy task. Time and again, we have all experienced heartache, sorrow, desperation, hurt and loneliness. But by the time we're out of that, we only become stronger, more independent individuals. We know better, we're wiser and when faced with similar despair, we know the pain will not last. The phrase "Every dark cloud has a silver lining" perfectly captures this idea.
Through all this, if you'e lucky, you will find or be accompanied by someone; someone who knows when you're hurting, someone who knows how to make you smile when you're breaking, to remind you that it's not the end. It may be a friend, a parent, a sibling, a spouse or even your child. It's not necessarily a lover. However, if you feel that there's no one to look out for you, then guess what... there's one person who can influence you with a much stronger conviction, and that's none other than YOU!!! You know what you're going through and you CAN find your way out. It may be hard but it's never impossible. Saying you can't or that it's impossible is just an excuse that you try to convince yourself of. This is my view on the difficulties that lie ahead of me and reminding myself that negativity is an excuse for the weak helps me get things done. I tell myself "You don't like something the way it is? Then change it! Enjoy life."
