Life is hard. I know that I'm stating the obvious here but I promise there is a point. These past few months have been challenging to say the least. Actually I would say that it's been the whole past year. I won't go into great detail about my problems because we all have them and I'm sure that everyone can agree that sometimes life just sucks. Anyway, just the other day I was listening to So Small by Carry Underwood and this song just spoke to me and I realized how pointless it is to become so disheartened worrying about things that are completely out of your control.
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking 'bout what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
After listening to this song I just felt so much more at ease about everything and realized that I should be focusing on the good things are happening to me right now. I know sometimes that it's hard to recognize all of the good and happy things when so much has gone wrong or is going wrong and you feel like you can't catch a break. I can say from my own personal experience that being sad and stressed out about what you have no control over is a waste of time and emotional energy. So don't do it. Focus on the things and people in your life that make you happy and I guarantee that whatever you are struggling with will become more clear to you and probably even seem like less of a trial. Sit back and enjoy life's ride. It's full of surprises.
