The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity


The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. - Winston Churchill

Thinking back at the movie I watched last night. I watched La Vie En Rose with Marion Cotillard. The story based on Edith Piaf; a famous French singer and a cultural icon. Edith had continuous bad things happening to her because she couldn't pull it together. She lived through a broken home, drug addiction, loss of loved one(s), and continuous heartache.

Moral is you have to have a positive outlook on EVERYTHING! These are not the days to be pessimistic about your life choices. Things can always be worse. Focus on today. God, family, and friends are the only things that really matter in life, if you have them, you're living!

I think about something my mom told me just last week. When I was younger (and this I do remember about her)...my mom would fall into a depression…(for some matters already known). She would close her eyes tight and try to pretend she was sleeping. I remember being little and always wanting to play and I couldn't do so with her because of this. She told me last week why she did this. She was having her own financial depression. She was becoming anxious on how she as a single mother was going to be able support herself, her mother, and me at the age of 7.

I find myself being my mother's daughter in the retrospect of over thinking a scenario and looking into it from every angle. In the end all it is...is too much thinking. Every life choice needs to be taken day by day. A little less careless and a little more thankful for what really matters.
The one life that we are all given.
