The title of the blog explains itself. It’s a question that we don’t take the time to ask ourselves with so much negativity going on in the world. I can rundown the laundry list of things that are going on but that’s not going to make things better. So I want to write a blog that’s more positive and will make you think of positive things.
I’ll start with what I love about my life right now. For starters, I live in warm weather and the sun shines bright everyday which boosts my mood and my spirit. Being able to be outdoors whenever I want for the most part. I get to sit outside by the pool get soak up the sun (which is where I write most of these blogs you read), I can get on my bike and ride a bike path by my house, I can go to the park and get a basketball workout in anytime I want, I have access to a gym 24 hours a day, it’s the simplest things that bring me happiness and joy.
My life and my energy is good and I don’t complain about it too much. Granted I’m not where I want to be financially, I try not to think about that all of the time. It’ll drive me crazy and stress me out. They say if you have a roof over your head, food in your fridge and clothes on your back, you’re doing better than a large amount of people in the world.
When you focus on the news, the negative things going on, you lose a grasp on the things that matter the most. It’s okay to keep abreast of what’s going on in the world, there’s nothing wrong with that, but when you focus on that too much, you lose your joy, your happiness and what keeps you going.
Sadly, we can’t control every aspect of our lives, we can only control our own narratives and fight the battles that we can. There’s so much to be happy about, focus on that. It's a scary time, I know it is but don’t lose your joy and happiness. Don’t lose out on the simple things that keep you going.
So what do you love about your life right now? Sit down, write those things out and remind yourself that all of the bad doesn’t outweigh the good.
That’s my blog for today, thanks for reading, be good and go accomplish your goals!
