Sometimes I think we like pain. We like to be unhappy. Why else would continue with some of our behaviors? It's almost like we would prefer to complain about something than to really make the effort to work on it.
Think of how your day might go better if we simply stopped thinking about everything that was wrong or bad. Don't think about a bad boss, a weak 401k, or a car that is rusting. Don't think about that person that you are worried over. Can your worry fix things? Put them in God's hands and think about something good.
You are alive! You can see! You have a computer! You can read! Spring is almost here! Ahh, the world already looks better. The daffodils are coming up! You can breathe! You are loved by many!
When we start thinking about the good stuff, our outlook naturally changes. So, let's just think less about the stuff that we can't fix and can't do anything about anyway. Let's think about the good instead and train ourselves to get into that habit.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Jeff, a part of the great life legacy you are building on, and a daily part of your influence on others, is that you continually encourage us to "be sure to see the good."
Thank you.
