"Letter from… “me”
Posted 14 seconds ago
Positive attitude? No way
I remember perfectly the days when all my family, or more precisely, my parents where depressed or in bad mood because our difficult situation. And the house was enveloped in a tense gloomy atmosphere. I was amazed to find out how much the actions and mood of the important leaders (In this case parents) can affect the feelings and atmosphere of the people that surrounds them. It’s like a flu, HAZARDOUSLY contagious! negative mood passes from person to person in matter of seconds (well…maybe minutes). Honestly it impacts on people whether you chose to wear a smile or a killing-happiness grimace of disappointment, sadness anger…and whatever else you imagine. That is why I am telling you, don’t give up to any problem that is hanging over you, let it be sickness, money, addiction, anything. For everybody our mission is to take our cross and never surrender. Keep you mind positive! and when others tell you that you will never make it, forget no only them but the tricky mischievous voice inside of you that does so. Just shut it up, do not even let it take power over you! Keep your expectations positive and your hopes in the top. Believe in you, believe in God and things will come out.
Difficult. Very Difficult. I can’t make it!!!!!!
As I said before, stay positive. “Easy to say it” you think. Well, no, you are wrong. Is easy if you make it easy, indeed you have the power to decide what is easy. You have the free-will to chose and say “This won’t be difficult, I’ll make it through”
“But what if it is indeed difficult”. Although we have the power to decide, certainly some things take a lot of EFFORT, not a level of difficulty. Erase the word difficult and impossible of your vocabulary. Just think this: Tough problems are for people beyond simplicity. Once someone told me, if all things were easy then everybody would do them. And that’s correct, because then, people like Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II, and many more wouldn't have made a difference. If they hadn't chose to erase the words difficult and impossible, and endure with devotion their mission.
So is your turn to make a monumental change, for your family, friends, anybody that matters to you. Stay strong, don’t surrender, show at least one smile a day -I mean, smiles are $0.00 of charge and we don’t take the discount- stop complaining, quit the “Is impossible or very difficult”. Forget it, leave it behind. Let your hopes rest in God, because (believe me) he will never, ever leave you alone. Not even in the scariest, cheerless time of your life.
God Bless you.
Sincerely N.P."
