It rained yesterday. It was a dull, dreary spring day. It was the kind of day that would make me feel down, but it didn’t. I couldn’t help think that in a few days it will be sunny. I was right. Today the sun was shining brilliantly.
As I said, today was sunny, but I noticed something else. When it was sunny today, I didn’t think about the clouds at all. I basked in the warm rays enjoying the spring.
Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned in life from this. When things are not going so well, rather than dwell on the negative, perhaps we can look forward to when our lives will be better, knowing that it will eventually happen.
When things are going well, we should just enjoy the occasion for what it is and smile.
Sometimes I find myself doing the exact opposite. It’s like when you are in a slump in baseball. You go to bat expecting to get out. When you are on a hitting streak, sometimes you say to yourself that you are going to get out sometime. It’s these negative thoughts that invade our minds that hurt us.
I’m going to start expecting the sun to shine in my life when things are not the way I want them. Just like the real sun brightens the sky, the same is going to happen to me. And you know what? The same will happen to you.
