It’s all in your perspective, and yours to control. Every day we hear someone ask “what’s wrong” or, comment “what’s wrong is…”. But how many times do you hear, or more importantly think, ‘What’s, right…”? It’s engrained in us to look for and expect the negative; but, why? From my perspective, there’s a lot which should and could be changed. From someone else’s, maybe not so much, or not at all. Therein lies the conundrum and the opportunity.
Every day is filled with infinite opportunities to ask, and answer, ‘what’s right’. It’s within your control to do so. It’s up to you how you react to comments and actions. Your reactions are not the responsibility of the tormentor; they are yours and yours to control. Focus, find something you enjoy in every situation, and enjoy the hell out of it. Everything else associated with a pretty poor situation can be managed. Managed, not condoned or tolerated; but, accepted for what it is, not how you’re going to react. If you can’t think through the situation, you’ve stopped thinking and are now just emotional and reactionary. You’ve lost control and yielded to that which is your very torment.
Start with what’s right with you. If you don’t get any further, that’s ok, you don’t need to. Knowing what’s right with you will get you through a lot. A lot more than you can imagine. Accept yourself. It’s who you are; not necessarily who you want to be. But, today, at this moment, it’s who you are. Recognize those ‘rights’ and use the strengths to your advantage as you move forward. If you focus on what’s wrong, everything you encounter will only reinforce the ‘wrong’. Stop asking the wrong question.
What’s, right? I’d say you are, and today is another day to excel.
