Stop controlling it, and LIVE it.

Current task at hand: To write a paper on stimulant medication and its effects on children with ADHD.

My mind: In another world.

Things are rough. They never seem to ever go right. People who know me, and know me well always say, “God is testing you, he is making you stronger for something big coming your way.” I say, what else can you throw at me to make me stronger? I’m not weak mentally, physically nor emotionally. It would be nice to wake up in the morning and know that today will be great. It’s easy people say, just tell yourself and believe that you will have the best day and bam! It will be in the palm of your hands. But is that true? Is that optimism at its best?

Let’s say you do that. You take peoples advice, wake up and it’s gorgeous outside, you look in the mirror and say today is MY day. It is going to be great. Then back to back one bad thing after another just occurs. Then what? Do you say, today wasn’t my day but tomorrow will be? Ok lets, say the following day comes along and the same scenario occurs. You wake up and say; today is going to be great! Then the same thing. …a series of events occur to make your day a little less great, makes your mood a little less brighter. You see this turn into a habitual occurrence, than what do you do? What do you say? Do you lose hope? Do you give up? Or do you stay strong and believe that one day things will get better? The question is when?

You ever get that feeling that whenever you take two steps forward, you take ten backwards? Well, that’s exactly how I feel. It seems like my efforts are useless, whatever I do is never good enough, the more good I do the more bad comes into my life. Do you ever see the people who are genuinely bad, those who step on others to get places in life, those who have attitudes, those who do people wrong, are happier? Do they get further in life?

You know that saying, “Life is a bitch, now so am I,” All the signs are saying, become one! I think to myself, how can I? How can I live with myself knowing am doing wrong? How can I sleep at night knowing my conscious isn’t clean? It’s just not how I am.

Sure things are tough, but you choose to make them tough or simple.

Examples:

If you know a person is a certain way and it irritates you – change how you respond. Do not react.

If a person is driving slowly on the highway – don’t let the road rage get your mood down, simply over take them.

If a girl or guy it tripping for no reason – stop, think about it from their perspective then respond.

If day after day you wake up and aren’t happy – change it do something that makes you happy

Money issues? – sell some things on ebay! Get a job on the side if you got talent put it to work!

Your kids giving your problems? – let them go, learn the hard way, then they will come back and say, you were right.

The main point is, stop trying to control the situation. Don’t wake up and say, “Today will be a good day.” Let things just fall in place. I believe that everything is written, it will happen. However, you always have a choice on how to respond to things which can make what is written positive or negative.
