Say Cheese

Snapshot

I ran across a question online that caught my attention, “Are you better or worse off than you were five years ago?”  The question was in an article specific to one’s financial situation, but it started me thinking about my last five years overall.  I can say with 100% confidence that I am in a far better place now than I was five years ago.  The previous place was not a bad one.  It’s just this place is different and better.  I’ve learned more, met more people, experienced new things, opened my heart and head on a different level, and redefined my priorities. 

Life takes effort.  You get out of it what you put into it.  There are those that stay in a state of being the victim and believing life craps on them at every turn.  Well, if you stay in that mindset, then you stay in that mindset.  I hit peaks and valleys and sometimes the wall at a high rate of speed, but I’ve learned the difference is not the peaks, valleys, or walls as they will always be there but is all about how you recover and move forward.  Make sense?

Take a snapshot at the very moment you are reading this sentence.  No matter what has happened, I believe you can find “the better” in your life right now.  How could it not be better?  You’ve had five more years of life experiences.
