I was always one for negative views on life, everyday I was angry and annoyed at the slightest things. Something as simple as missing the bus and being late for work would send me into a rage. Then it would spiral from there, a day full of misery and constant bad luck. I would do something wrong in work, I would annoy someone, my last £20 would be swiped from my bank account due to bank charges. Nothing seemed to go right even though I tried my hardest to stay positive, deep down I didn't really feel it.
Speaking to a friend regarding my so-called woes in life she recommended a book to me, it was called The Power by Rhonda Byrne. I have always been a cynic when it comes to books or classes that are supposed to inspire you and change your life. I didn't understand how one thing could possibly change all of the negativity that consumed me, but I was willing to try anything.
I sat down on my usual seat on the bus to work, I reached into my bag and pulled out the book. I stared at it for a while unaware that once I started, it would change my thoughts instantly. After reading the first chapter I was on a high feeling so much more focused in changing my negative thoughts into positive ones. I read a chapter everyday and learned a lot about the process of karma and the energy we give out.
This book has made me realise that yes bad things happen, they are meant to. How else would we learn from our mistakes or know better next time. We need the bad in order to develop into strong and focused people. If we have never had anything bad happen to us how would we appreciate the good. So instead of taking the bad from the negatives I take the good, I learn from it.
THE BUS IS LATE? SO WHAT! WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE....
