This is something we should try and repeat to ourselves at the beginning of each day. Because, as many of us know, said day has a great chance of being an annoyingly stress-filled, busy, tiring day.
But I for one am sick of letting the stress of the world get to me. So many things have been getting me so so down lately. Too many things have been adding stress and disappointment and very much un-needed endless annoyances. And these things, in turn, keep me on edge. They make me lash out at those who actually do care about me; those who want nothing but the best for me.
So I am going to try and make the best of every day. Because, as trite as it may sound, life is way too short to live in angry or to live it letting the hard stuff bring you down into a seemingly permanent state of overwhelming stress.
Life is something we have all been so kindly gifted with. It is something that many give away very easily, something that others assume they can just take away from people. But for those of us here, with a chance at a great life of happiness, even if along the way there are things that are unpleasant - well for us, we should be taking nothing for granted.
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. But the best thing in this world is to live.
Very powerful and well written blog. It makes me smile that you can appreciate the world as I do. I did however find that final 2 sentences so interesting that i wanted to see if they were a famous quote so I googled them. And while I didnt find the exact quote, I found it interesting as to how reminiscent it was of buffys last words to dawn before she was going to die in season 5 when she said "Dawn, the hardest thing in this world… is to live in it. Be brave. Live… for me."
