Perceptions

Your own perceptions.

How do you perceive things? I talked once about how you are viewed and how do you want to be viewed. I have recently thought more on the subject. I thought about how I handled different situations through out my life. When things would go bad and I perceived them as bad, I would feel the same as I projected on myself, which was bad. It was not a natural thing for me to do but sometimes you get a bad deal on something in life. The old saying states "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". It really is true. I know people that are angry about everything no matter what happens and they try to see things as bad. I do not need to try to change who they are, I can only change myself and my views. Even when something good is happening the angry people look at it as bad. I do not want to have rose colored glasses on and I do want to be a realist. However, I choose to see how it, whatever the situation is, can be enjoyed by me. I know somethings will be good and some bad, but it is just like life and everything it entails. I like life and I like living. I do not feel that I should waste precious moments of my life on being angry at or about anything. I can feel passionate about something. I can have strong opinions. I just choose to see how it can be better or to quote some other saying, "to make the best out of a bad situation". My opinion on this is not restricted to just bad things but good ones too. Why not enjoy all that is offered in this thing call life or living.
