Life is What You Make It

Have you ever noticed that some people are happy, regardless of what is going on around them? And have you noticed, on the flip side, that some people are unhappy no matter what?

Nobody has a smooth ride through life. We all have speed bumps and ruts, brick walls and cliffs — our ups and downs. It’s your reaction to the challenges — and the wins — that creates your world. Life is what you make of it.

You can choose to accept what’s handed to you, or you can reject, blame, and complain about it. It’s up to you.

Have you noticed that when you accept that “thing” that’s happened to you that your energy stays strong and positive? Maybe you haven’t noticed that, but you probably have noticed how low your energy gets when you fight your situation.

Low energy can present itself as feeling tired, being cranky or angry, feeling hungry, or even being depressed. When you have that low energy it’s harder to rise above the situation contributing to your low energy, to deal with life in a “reasonable” and “logical” way.

Sometimes your decisions and actions cause an unhappy situation, just as they cause happy a situation. Sometimes you are handed a bum deal, and sometimes you are handed a great prize. Deal with it, regardless. Your reaction impacts your life, let that impact be as positive as possible.

The challenge I put before you is to keep your energy up so that you can handle what life gives you. You’ll enjoy yourself more, and those around you will enjoy you more too, when you have high energy and positivity.

Do you tend to be negative and have low energy? You may wonder how to change that pattern. Decide. Decide to change and to be positive and energetic. It may not happen immediately for you, so you keep deciding. One day you’ll look back and realize how life has changed for you. One day you’ll see that the world is a wonderful place, that you are happy, and your energy is strong. You’ll see that you deal with the hand life deals you daily better, with more satisfaction.

Make the most of your life.
