surround yourself with happy thoughts?

Do you drift your mind to it or you live in the moment and find the breathtaking moments to live by. Or perhaps, you do both?

Lately, I have been fighting over negative circumstances surrounding me, well, the source of which can vary. I have tried…so many times to convince myself to filter out those stuffs that seemed to stress me, especially if I don’t have any means to change the circumstance. I won some battles and I lost sometimes but it has improved much of the person I am now.

AWARENESS
Like , I can readily recognize if such circumstance could lead me to angry thoughts. Man, I have a bad temper- my husband could attest to it and am working on it. Every time, a slight temperature of anger is running in my veins—I talk to myself about it. And I realized, there is no point of getting angry. In many circumstance, I convert anger to laughter, it has worked. And being an observer myself— I realized anger, torrid words is not helpful outlet( well, shopping does) . The more you lack control of your emotions, the more irrational you are to society. Hence, you cause other people’s irritation and bad mood.

EXPERIENCE
What helped me reach the state of Awareness? Oh, yeah, it takes another angry person to help myself mull over. I witnessed how it is to be in a middle of a moody person, no amount of ” giving the benefit of the doubt” has worked for me. To be just surrounded by an irritable type is one way for me to cope with mine. I told myself—I don’t want to live life that way. I went through my own journey and mastered its impact. I talk it over to my husband and now, I can’t stop but laugh and learn from it. Heck with perfection.

Of course, such journey is incomplete without the other side of the coin. I have my idols in terms of patience, coolness and maturity. I am surrounded by them too. And they are my inspiration.

See, each person we encounter everyday in our life is with a purpose. Including those who seemed to be causing you pain, irritation and bad mood. The heart of the matter is —how you handle them. I have changed my outlook now. I’ve got to master this.

Have a great weekend everyone! We will start to pack for our Aussie trip over the weekend.
