Sometimes we get into slumps, droughts, holes, or are merely sadness. This can happen for a reason like you just got bad grades, you've had multiple interviews and haven't landed a job yet, your friends all are in relationships, and you're not. Or you just simply have no idea why you are on a slump and feeling down.
Having this feeling happens to everyone; it doesn't matter who you are, what you look like, or what you do. We all have heard Drake before, right? Even the most famous and wealthy have these times of desperation where their emotions aren't lined up to where they want them. Drake, for example, recently came out with "I'm Upset", which clearly shows he is upset.
But you know the difference between the way he thinks and the way most people think? He stays positive about nothing else.
One of the many Webster morals and mottos I have is the perfect one for when you are in situations like this, and it is one of my favorites, too! "Why worry about the things you have no control over? Just worry about the things you do."
I love this saying so much because it's true. I mean this in two ways. One, being why to be negative or think negative, that is what leads you to be in a funk and be in your head. Most of the times when we are down, it's because we put ourselves down by doubting our own selves, and that is because we overthink.
We are in our heads, and we need to get out of our heads. When you think about it this way, you start to question yourself about why do you do this to yourself. That applies to most of the shitty things that happen to us or the things we bring upon ourselves into our lives, whether that is crappy friends, crappy situations, a crappy relationship, or just plain crappy decisions.
There is something called the "Law of Attraction", and what this means is you attract the energy you bring around you. So, if you are always thinking negatively or thinking pessimistically, you are going to draw negative and uninspiring vibes into your circle, your vibe, your aura.
But when you think positive and optimistic, you will pull positive and fulfilling aspects of life into your own. That can manifest into a good job, more positive friends, and a better overall living situation mentally and physically.
The other reason why I love the saying is... why worry? If you are going to bother or stress yourself over something you have no control over, you are going to go crazy. Think of a dog when they chase their tail; we know that they are never going catch it, but they overwhelm themselves by trying to, and then they get tired out.
Well, that is what we do, myself included, when we obsess about the things we have no control over. Like traffic being bumper to bumper and you are now late to work, you got a crappy grade in a class because the professor was actually horrible, but you couldn't do anything about it, or being f-ed over in a relationship because of the other side.
Life just sucks sometimes, and it's something we need to accept. Everything is not always going to be rainbow and unicorns or, in college, straight A's and days filled with fun and partying. There will be the days where it's filled with sadness, sorrow, emotional and physical pain, and pure exhaustion.
But the one thing you must always remember is life is the way you make it if you do nothing to make it better or just are always in a negative mind frame. Well then, that's what you are going to experience, and you brought that on yourself.
