Sometimes It Rains And Sometimes It Doesn’t
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
“Life is much better if sometimes it rains and sometimes it doesn’t.” ~ Milton Erickson
If we get sunshine everyday, we won’t appreciate the sun. If everything we do comes easy, we will never feel a satisfaction of doing hard work. Just as there are constant changes in the weather, there are changes in our lives. We want things to go smoothly every time. But there will always be delays, distractions and challenges for us to go through. This is part of life. For us to appreciate sunny days, it must rain. For us to appreciate our health, sometimes we catch a cold. Life is not all negatives or all positives, but life has both negatives and positives. The negative experiences help us to grow while the positive experiences help us to experience and appreciate the joys of life in a meaningful way.
Discounting the Positives
Written By Eugene Morgan
Sometimes we let one unpleasant event discount our whole day. We find ourselves recalling the event that happened many hours ago to forget about what good things did happen. It is inevitable that unpleasant events will happen and it is inevitable pleasant events will happen as well. Constantly replaying the unpleasant event will only stress us out. Instead, we can start thinking about the pleasant events that occurred that would relax us and lower our stress level to normal. It takes practice to count the positives that’s always happening in our lives. We have to look for them and when we do find them, we should cherish them as our own because they are our own experiences.
