Life is what you make of it. You can choose to dwell on the bad or you can choose to focus on the good. When you have a chronic illness it’s sometimes easier just to dwell on the bad. When you’re in pain and exhausted it’s hard to see the bright side of things. We’re only human and most of the time we let hard times get the best of us. It doesn’t have to be that way. If we choose to be positive, even though it can be so hard to do, the bad things won’t seem so bad anymore. A positive attitude goes a long way.
I let things get to me when I should just ignore it and move on. Like when someone tells me that it can’t be that bad having Fibromyalgia. It’s rude and it hurts, but there is no need to shove their heads in a toilet and flush it. Unfortunately many people choose to speak out of ignorance, but I can choose not to let it get me down.
It’s so much easier just to be happy. Optimism is a beautiful concept and if more people could be optimistic then the world would be so much happier! You can’t lead a fulfilling life without hope…without happiness. Stop dwelling on the bad in this world and start focusing on the good…it’s good for your health!
