BE AN OPTIMIST..BEING HAPPY IS OUR CHOICE <3

Everyone of us has a different route to take in our lives. I can say that mine is the most unfortunate one. Rocks and thorns were being scattered and thrown in my path, as what my life had encountered before. For me,at that time, life is unfair. I've made mistakes, life's trials are scorching me up. Being an optimist is not my type. I thought life was provoking me 'till I dried up and I eked out a living. I always thought everything was as a negative as my life. Well, aside from being a pessimist, I love helping others. I feel bad when i see somebody begging in the streets and some people just walkaway, being oblivious to the fact. I never ask something in return, I just want to have someone to comfort me when I needed someone to hear out my problems. But my friends are too busy to even call me and say Hi!!! I'm used to it but it broke my heart. I came to realize that I'm just too selfish to conclude that. They have their own lives to tend to. they have their own problems that need to be solved. And it changed my life just like that. All the negativity in me was being erased. I prayed and ask forgiveness and to lighten up my heart. I was being selfish. Mistakes in life are not a curse, it is a blessing. I won't feel it if I don't need it. I learned from my mistakes. I am now contented with all the things, and now living life to the fullest. If you feel happiness in life.... that's it. JOY is one of the virtues we can't contrive.
