Someone said to me the other day at work, "Ann, Smile! You know, happy people live longer!" I was so frustrated because I have really been on a huge kick lately to make sure my positivity reflects off onto others. My problem must be the job itself. I have recently done something about the unhappiness which I discussed in the last posting, but making the best out of my time left here is hard, ECSPECIALLY knowing what the future holds for me outside of this small cubicle.
Of course I know happy, optimistic people live longer. They dwell less on worrying and the negatives life throws and puts value back into all of the positive things happening around them, even if they are minuscule. This in turn takes stress from amassing within the body-therefore they live longer (simply put).
Someone telling me to calm down or chill out, or BE HAPPY, has no idea the outside circumstances leading me to where I am right now. I do have a lot on my plate but I still owe it to those around me to know I am still putting my best foot forward, even in a place I know is holding me back from what I have to offer this world.
Make the best of every situation: no matter how bad it might be: no matter if you will never see certain people again: no matter if you will never look back. God has a plan for everyone and you have to experience less than desirable things along the way. BUT you CAN do something about those situations. Decide what is best for you, best for your soul, best for your future. Take steps to get where you want to go but do not forget about where you stand before you get there. Take care of the relationships you hold where you are now so you can look back positively in years to come.
Right around the corner might be something wonderful but you might just miss a glimpse of something magnificent while you are waiting to get there.
