Food for Thought. Yum... Food..

I am the first to believe in miracles, finding things for a reason, being in the wrong place at the right time, and the right one at the wrong time, especially with meeting people.

As our lives pan out we turn back and look at the benefits of a hard situation we never thought we’d make it through. Sometimes we wish for better when we already have it as good as it gets. I’ve learned to be thankful for my bad days and that I can make something out of myself from them, but at the beginning of each morning I can realize that bad days mean ‘below my high expectations’ and some people really cant even afford to have expectations. I know what’s right and I certainly know what’s wrong. But why is it so hard to find a common medium?

I think we often convince ourselves when everything is going moderately 'handle-able' in our lives that at any minute something or someone will come and take it away from us. After all, too good to be true, usually is, isn’t it? We are never fully satisfied. We’d rather be certain in misery and something shameful and discomforting because you can only go up from there. Am I right? It scares the living crap out of us. We worry, we fret and it does no good to our souls. We over-think too much to the point where we convince ourselves that something is happening to us that’s far from what really is. We are our own worst enemy, believe it or not. We expect the best in the midst of thinking the worst. But yet we never believe the worst could actually ever happen to us?

People die of cancer, get in plane crashes, car accidents, suffer tragedies and heartbreak. But we never truly suffer in our own anxiety that this is our own personal fate. We just keep on living with hopes that each day will be better than the worst of our yesterdays. Well let me tell you that the odds weigh themselves out my beautiful friends. Surrounding yourself in darkness but hoping to see a bright light is your own ignorant choice. Exit the negative and be prone to be more open to the positive. You will radiate so much energy that you never knew existed. You will bask in more bright light then you could imagine.

The wise Joseph Campbell when discussing Nietzsche said, "When looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now... Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes."
