A persons point of view can have huge implications on how they view everything. I have moments when my point of view is positive and other moments when I seem to view everything with a hint of negativity. I have to admit I am naturally a skeptical person who is always preparing for the worse. However, I have been trying, for quite some time now, to be a person who expects and hopes for the positive.
I hate the moments when I view everything negatively because I am aware I am doing it, but I can not seem to stop it. It is a horrible feeling when you know you are doing something that is not helpful to living a healthy, happy life, but you continue to do it. It is hard to change my outlook in these moments because: 1. It is a natural state for me; 2. It's is a behavior pattern I have developed since I was 8 years old.
I am, however, aware of this debilitating perspective and am doing my best to fight it. Sometimes even just getting out of bed can seem like an impossible task. And when I think about the next 2 months of my life and the decisions I have to make...wow...I just want to get back in bed and cover my eyes.
In fact, that is how I always react. Not this time however. I am in the beautiful "Caribe." And I have so much natural beauty to take it. Even just sitting on the beach, admiring the blues and greens of the sea against the grand backdrop of the blue sky has a way of making me realize, "Everything is going to be OK."
There is too much life to be lived. Too many laughs to share and stories to hear. I have to take advantage of the moments I have been given...after all, I may never have this opportunity again.
