{expect more}

The more I focused on lack and on what I couldn’t have, the more depressed I became. The more depressed I became, the more I focused on lack. My soul whispered that what I really yearned for was not financial security but financial serenity. I was still—quiet enough to listen. At that moment I acknowledged the deep longing in my heart. What I hungered for was an inner peace that the world could not take away. I asked for help and committed to following wheresoever Spirit would lead me. For the first time in my life I discarded my five-year goals and became a seeker, a pilgrim, a sojourner.
When I surrendered my desire for security and sought serenity instead, I looked at my life with open eyes. I saw that I had much for which to be grateful. I felt humbled by my riches and regretted that I took for granted the abundance that already existed in my life. How could I expect more from the universe when I didn’t appreciate what I already had?

So true. Especially the last line.
I'm so tired of negativity. Tired of 'glass half empty' people. Tired of letting those people get to me & pull me down.

My life is not perfect. There are lots of areas that need work. I refuse to let those areas take over my life though. Refuse.

ETA... total ranting here, sorry. Just have a friend that is so negative. Everything I say gets a negative response & I'm so over it. And so thankful that I'm able to see the bright side of things.
