Living Life on lifes terms

People places and things...Wow they sure can do things I don't want them to do. People can make me upset and let me down, places can underwelm me...and things. Dogs can die people can die..Basically life is how you react to all of these things. My parents put down their dog today and it was very sad. I can't take away someones grief and I loved the dog as well. I have a hard time celebrating the lives of people when they are gone. I want to wallow in my sorrow, but that just makes me bring other people down. So I prayed very hard today. I just have faith that I don't know the whole story. What I can see and hear is just a fraction of the big picture. The prayer I always try to say is "God direct my thinking" when I do that it helps me focus on what I have and how I can help. I was listening to Tony Robbins and he talked about how he went to a morgue and he saw a person dead that was his age. He was just like...I have no problems compared to that person. Tony Robbins also loves to talk about taking problems and turning them into chances to improve..or a chance to reflect...or a chance to grow. One of my other friends had a freak out today. I know he feels like crap tonight, but I love him and I told him that he is doing good. I have had my freak outs-my flip outs-my over reactions. I liked to think I am matured enough to not over-ract anymore, but you never know. For me I call my someone when I am freaking out because I know myself and I know that I can take a problem and do something dumb like wreck my jeep over it or punch a wall. I ain't got time for that. So I have some praying to do and yes the Royals suck balls, but tonight I am going to focus on the fact my family is alive and healthy, that I have a decent relationship with them, and the fact that I can ask God to direct my thinking so I can help others.
