Day at the Park

Not everyday is easy. I don't wake up cheerful every single morning. I have bad days where I wake up and the only thing I really want to do is cry all day. I could spend hours crying about who doesn't love me, who thinks I'm strange and every mistake I have made in life. I have made a TON of mistakes!!! I have made enough mistakes in my life already that I could spend the rest of my life sitting and crying about it. I could be like Alice in Wonderland and create an entire ocean with my tears

I realize what a waste of time that would be!

I could spend my time thinking of all of my shortcomings or, I can focus on my strengths. I could look at all of those times that I made 'mistakes' and, instead of focusing on the pain in those situations, I could focus on the better understanding of myself that I have gained from those experiences. That's really what everything is, a new experience, not a mistake or error. We are not here on this planet, in this life, to be perfect. We are here to experience an amazing adventure!

Our life is like a Day at the Park.

Six Flags is a great amusement park. It has rides and games and anything you could ask for. It was made solely for our entertainment. I believe we should look at life the same way. We are here solely for the entertainment that these life experiences can offer us. As we go through this life, our own personal day at the park, we encounter things 'rides' that brings us ultimate joy. We also find 'rides' that we never want to experience again. We have the opportunity to choose which 'rides' or life experiences we want to take part in. We get to decide if we want to enjoy all of the joy the park has to offer or if we want to focus on all of the flaws.
We choose our lives.
We choose our experiences.

So on the days that I wake up feeling as though I could cry all day long, I decide to enjoy this Day in the Park! Today is another opportunity for me to experience the greatness of this adventure! Another day to focus on the joys instead of the flaws.
Enjoy your Day at the Park!
