I have a friend of mine who despite all the great things he has going for him, seems to constantly have a dark cloud over his head. There is always something keeping him down. There is always some drama or chaos that makes him miserable. I totally understand that. I've been there. I've dealt with some of the most difficult challenges I've ever faced in my life over the past few years (some just recently), and I've gone to some very dark places where I felt there was no hope for me. Then I realized something...
Life keeps coming at you. It's relentless. It never stops. You have two choices, let it beat you, or fight back.
Realize all of the amazing things that you have in life and know that the grass is never, ever greener on the other side. As bad as you think you have it, there are a million people that would gladly trade places with you. Remember that the hardships and challenges are always out there lurking, waiting to drag you down. I came across a great quote a long time ago, and I've lived by it ever since.
"LIFE IS 10% WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU AND 90% HOW YOU REACT TO IT"
It's all about how YOU choose to deal with your problems. Adapt and overcome. Keep a positive attitude, hold your head up high and fight back!
