“When it seems like the sky is about to collapse, relax, that’s just the roof caving in.” - Jarod Kintz
Perspective is such a powerful thing.
Losing one's life savings could be perceived as a life-crippling event.
To another, it could simply be a inconvenience.
To most, life and the freedom we have as human beings is taken for granted.
Until we face a near-death experience, and completely shift the way we look at our lives.
It all comes down to perspective.
How we perceive the world around us.
The situations and circumstances we face on a daily basis.
Our minds can over-exaggerate the things that happen around us, if we allow it to.
If our emotions run riot.
If we do not have control of over these emotions.
If we lack a mastery of self.
More often than not, we are able to deal with the problems we over-inflate in our minds.
More often than not, they are not as bad as we make them out to be.
And in all cases, no matter the situation.
No matter how bad.
No matter the impact.
We can either choose to move forward and deal with them.
Or we can give them power over us and be shackled by fear.
In any case, we always have a choice.
Strive to live, live to strive.
