WHEN THINGS GO WRONG - SHOW GRATITUE ANYWAY

Good morning to you and good morning to Thursday.  Did you ever have one of those days where everything seems to go wrong and if not wrong, just not the way you want it to?  I'll answer that.  Of course you have!  We all have.

Today's quote, "Things will go wrong as often they do but when they go right - show gratitude - be joyful and concentrate on the good you just experienced."  Such is life.  Things go wrong all the time but they go right too.  Instead of focusing on what didn't work, celebrate what did!

For every time a situation is not to your liking, see how you can turn it around and make it positive.  Here is an example.  The coffee you made this morning is weak BUT, there is more so you make a fresh pot.  It's raining out BUT, you have an umbrella to keep you dry.

It is the rare person who does not look first at the negative.  It's just easier and takes no effort and besides it is always more visible.  To see the positive side of things takes more effort which is why we sink into the comfort of negativity.

It will not always be easy to find joy when something goes wrong or to be grateful when we are disappointed but life is a mix of many things.  Sadness, struggle, pain but also happiness, success and excitement.

Be willing to look beyond the surface.  We all have so much to be thankful for even if at the time it doesn't appear that way.  Show gratitude at every possible opportunity.  You will not only feel better but your entire outlook will indeed change.

Hoping everything goes your way and if it doesn't, there's always tomorrow!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy
