Perspective

Open or Closed Minded

Life is a rollercoaster. There are high highs and low lows. What will happen in your lifetime is unsure, but how you react in any situation is up to you.

You can choose to have a negative mindset. You can choose to be upset over every little inconvenience that happens in your life. You can choose to be mad when someone hurts you, and hate the world because of the way your life is going.

However, you can also choose to have a positive mindset. You can embrace the pain and turn it into a lesson. You are able to turn something that seems horrible into something beautiful. You can change your life for the better.

You can turn inward and examine yourself, flaws and all, and realize that you are a magnificent being who, even with a messy past or unsure future, is fully capable of loving every bit of yourself and everyone around you. Remember that you control your own life. Remember that no matter what has happened to you or who you are now, you are able to achieve all you have ever wanted.

If I have learned one thing in life, it is that no matter who you are, where you come from, how you speak and act, you can become a better version of yourself. If you think you are the best you can be, you are not, but no one is. There is always room for improvement. Even the most seemingly perfect people have their flaws, but it is the way they embrace them and turn them into something beautiful that makes them so incredible.

Please, learn to shift your mind, because you will not regret it. Keep yourself safe from the demons that might be found in your mind. Some people find so much comfort in the sadness that wraps around them, as if it is some kind of cozy blanket. That is no way to live.

I hope that you find yourself. I hope you find a love you have yet to experience in yourself, before finding it in someone else. I made that mistake once, and I will never make it again. Be more confident, be more positive, and be more radiant. Let your light shine onto others, and help them experience that same love and positivity. The world will be a better place because of it.

You are in control of your own life. You have the option to handle situations in a positive or negative manner. Remember to take care of your mental and physical health before trying to take care of others. You should come first in your life. That does not mean to push aside the needs of others, but simply to make sure that your needs are fulfilled first so that you can help others to the best of your ability.

If you have a positive mindset, extend that to others who think differently than you. Address the matter in a kind and calm way, and do not force your opinions on others. In the end, people will always think the way they want to, but you can try your best to help them live a better and more fulfilling life. Help others when they need it. Try your best not to live in the past. Discover yourself and then help others do the same.

The way you live life and the way you experience it all depend on your perspective. For your own sake, choose to have a positive mindset rather than a negative one. Turn the painful things into pleasant ones, and find a lesson in every hardship. Every mistake can be turned into a learning experience. I hope you realize that there is a light in you waiting for you to see it. Turn your light outward towards others, so that they can be encouraged to shine too.
