Perspective

People don't change really, perspectives do. Try to keep that in mind. When you think a person has "changed" maybe they haven't. Maybe they have experienced different things that have changed their outlook. People blame their inability to keep a relationship on themselves or the other person saying that one of them has changed. A person doesn't really change, their values change. And that's perfectly okay. (An oxymoron yes, my favorite literary device) 

Depending on what your going through your priorities change. It's how it goes; that's life. it's all about perspective. Twenty people could see the same incident and each could have a different idea and/or opinion about it. If you don't think that's the neatest thing then get outta here. I'm just kidding, don't leave. Anyway, it's all about perspective. every waking moment you endure has to do with your personal perspective. "I have not failed 1,000 times; I have learned 1,000 ways not to build a light bulb." something like that... familiar right? This is exactly what I'm talking about. Perspective. It's all about how you look at things. When you view things in a positive way you see positive outcomes. You have to be a up person, not a down person. When you're a down person you send your self down this spiraling slide, it may seem fun because its a slide but it's hard to climb back up from the bottom on such a slippery slope. Every time you think "this is a bad day" or "I'm having a bad day" you notice that everything that happens to you is negative. In reality, every single thing that happens to you has some type of negative rebuttal that we choose to overlook when we are in a good mood and dwell on when we are in a bad mood. The next time your in a down mood and feel like everything happening to you is bad just think: how bad is it? Is it something that can be undone?  Made up for? Instead of sulking in your day, take control of it. Stand up and look at things from a different view. Even if it doesn't work you'll feel better knowing that you tried. It's always better to try and almost succeed than to not try and fail.
