freedom

One of the greatest freedoms that we have is how we choose to react to what is happening around us.

Too many people love to play the victim.  Complaining that the world has some how cheated them.  Complaining that the world has not aligned itself to make them happy.

Broken arm?  Wrecked car?  Trouble at home?  Loss of a friend?  All of life's traumas are there for us to react to, either positively or negatively.

Why choose to be unhappy about something that is beyond my control?  This trauma is here and I can do nothing about it, except learn to bear it.

I personally would rather be a happy person bearing a difficulty, that a giant complainer bearing a difficulty.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, trauma and all.  Be sure to see the good.
