It's Usually Better

It Is

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
Our own Lives are usually Better

“For everything you’ve lost,

you’ve gained something else.

Appreciate what you have today.

Life does not have to be perfect

to be wonderful”

We all know what ‘loss’ is.

It could be

that we have lost out

on a good job

to someone else,

or we have lost out

on buying that beautiful dress or smart suit

because it was just too expensive.

You can live with the job you have

because it pays the bills (just about)

and the clothes in your wardrobe

aren’t too bad.

But it’s when we lose someone in death

that Life becomes hard.

No one

can replace your mum

or your dad

or even your best friend.

However,

we still have nice people in our Lives

who we can

become close to or stay friends with.

It is very often the case

that when we lose something or someone,

“Life” finds a way

of ‘replacing’

and it is always

for our benefit.

This is why

a Positive Mindset

is so Important!

When we are in a daily routine

of daily mindfulness

and writing in our gratitude journal,

on a daily basis

then when a sad event does happen,

we are in a much Stronger

frame of Mind

to cope with it.

A Happy Life is a Real Life.

So,

when we lose something

(I won’t say someone),

let go of it

and look around you at what you ‘do’ have,

because it is usually Better.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
