“…the bad serves us when we learn from it and not when we hold on to it”.
When I say 2016 was a phenomenal year I say it with all sincerity.
Not that I did not have disappointments, exercise poor judgement or tried to take calculated risks that did not materialize / that was all a part of my 2016 journey. I say it was phenomenal because the way I try to live is with intention. Innately we are socialized (well most of us that is) to hold onto the negatives and the result is that it overshadows all the positives even when the scale is tipped towards mostly good. We can have a series of great things taking place in our lives and one bad experience causes us to forget. So whether I experienced more bad than good I will allow the good to overshadow the bad… the bad serves us when we learn from it and not when we hold on to it.
So I encourage us all as we enter 2017, to have a positive attitude and live intentionally.
Living intentionally allows us to take charge of our situation and allow light into our lives always. A light that will slowly but intentionally get rid of the darkness as it tries to sneak up on us… what do you think?
