2 months ago, if you had told me that my car was going to break
down to an irreparable state, I would have had some sort of apoplectic fit. However,
in relation to other news I have recently heard, it is a minor inconvenience. It
is sobering how horrible stories can give your life total perspective and really
adjust your point of view. So often I and others seem to place so much
importance on something, which is the grand scheme of things, does not really
matter. Cars, phones, clothes can all be replaced but losing a loved one or
missed opportunity will always leave a dent.
Maybe life has to be contextualised, so bad events have to
happen in order for us to recognise how different aspects relate to each other?
Only when I am full of mucus and constantly blowing my nose do I really want to
be well again and forget how precious my health is.
Looking at all the people and positives in your life makes you
appreciate how fortunate you are and the difficulties others face. I definitely
have my bad days and life does not always go to plan but I would like to think that
my mettle will help me through and I won’t dwell on the negatives. As I have
said before, focusing on the negatives in life is so draining and taking more
of a positive approach lifts unnecessary strains off your shoulders.
To finish, I found this little quote which I thought was very
true and would lighten the blog a bit:
To
succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.
