Today's post is something a little different than you're all probably used to reading on here. I guess my mood today is somewhat reflective, and my morning commute sparked some thinking which I couldn't help but share with you guys.

I've pretty much always been someone who naturally always sees the negative in situations, and have always been concious to fill my mind with positive mantras and messages. I really do believe that you get what you give out, and if you do your best to see things positively, and to always see the good in life, this will return positive things back to you.
Yesterday, I read some news that deeply saddened me. For the sake of privacy and respect, I won't say what this was on here, but it really hit home and made me stop and think about life, and what's really important. The initial shock and sadness soon turned into anger, and I found myself incredibly frustrated at how bloody unfair life can be at times. How can there be so much bad in the world? And how can innocent people be subjected to so much pain and suffering, when there are seriously bad people roaming around with perfect health and not a worry in sight? Normally I would simply brush thoughts like this off, and leave it in the hands of karma, but sometimes it's just not enough, and it just doesn't seem fair.
We all spend so much time worrying about insignificant, minor details and not enough appreciating how fortunate and lucky we are to have happiness and health. As beautiful as life can be, it can also be taken away in an instant, and this has really made me change my attitude towards things. Instead of sweating the small stuff, and worrying about useless things we cannot control or change, as of now, I'm going to let all of the bad stuff go.
When there is so much sadness and suffering going on in the world, worrying about why someone sent you back an arsey text, or moaning about having no money left until payday doesn't seem quite right...
