"In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip." Daniel L. Reardon
Quite right. Surely, life can't be all that bad...So instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, why not embrace the world with an open mind and an open heart. If you look at the world with thoughts of love, full of commpassion, then you have little chance to live in despair. If you look at yourself with understanding and unconditional love, you have no reason to be unhappy.
So i decided to list at least five good things that happen every day. And as soon as i started writing, i found out that so many good things happen everyday but i just tend to overlookthem because i'm too busy or too preoccupied with things that don't really matter.
So here's a few for today:
1. My roommate was nice enough to unplug my cellphone charger. I totally forgot about it because i was in hurry to go to work, i was almost late. The battery could have been damaged if she waited for me to come back. And she also gave me hershey's dark chocolate bars and a golden pomelo from Davao.
2. The Christmas lights all over Asiatown IT Park were already lit up and they look so dazzling in different colors hanging on the trees. I truly enjoyed the short walk to work today.
3. I received a few messages from KLO today. My heart skipped a beat when i woke up and saw his name on my phone.
4. My sister sent me a message asking how i was doing.
5. I was able to sleep for eight hours today. Usually, I only get about four or five hours of sleep.
