I realized recently that when things didn't go my way I through a big self talking pity party. I would think about how nothing in my life is good, and everything is going wrong.
But I realized that I needed to tell myself to stop being such a brat and open my eyes to what is around me. I have actually so much to be thankful for.
I have taken going to college for granted, there are so many individuals that can't go to college, regardless of their situation, I have to opportunity to get an advanced education and they don't. So I need to be more thankful for that. Regardless of how much the end of the semester sucks.
I have a wonderful husband to be, he is there for me every second of the day if I need him to be. I've also taken him for granted. He is a wonderful, caring, loving man. But at least I have the blessing to have someone like this in my life, some people aren't able to have that love that really is healthy and good for them.
I have somewhere safe, warm, and welcoming to stay. There are so many homeless individuals, or individuals that are living in situations that are unhealthy. And I took for granted what I have.
In short, I need to be more thankful for what I have, and who I have in my life. I also need to stop through a pity party when I don't get my way, even if it isn't out loud, and I'm just thinking about it. Because there are so many people in the world that hardly have anything and have a better attitude then me.
