When the going get tough... Stay positive!

                           



I have lived a lot of  life for only being 29.  I have been through trials and triumphs some people never see, however I will spare you the details knowing there are plenty of others who have been through much more.  I have had some terrible as well as embarrassing let downs and some amazing achievements as most people have I assume.

I have mentioned that I am naturally a kind person.  I almost always have a smile on my face, try to see the best in everyone as well as everything.   I approach every day life with an open heart and open mind. 

Although I have always worked hard to see the best in every person who walks into my life, that has caused me to have a bad judge of character.  Due to the fact I have no judgement toward anyone it makes it easy to be taken advantage of, this is something I am working on.  I am not observant, yet I am intuitive, somewhat of an oxymoron however I assure you there is a difference.

Today I stand before you a proud, independent, positive woman, however I have not always been so positive.  There was a time in my life several years ago I wouldn't shed a smile, I was a pessimist, a downer if you will.  Part of being "organic" is about being positive.  When you give out positive feelings or vibes or a positive attitude you will receive them in return.

It took me years to train myself to always be positive, always look on the brights side, and always look for the rainbow in every storm.  I feel I have mastered positivity which is so important in our lives today.  I believe everything happens for a reason and although it seems tough at the moment ultimately every experience we go through is for a particular reason.  Although we can't see why today was bad, tomorrow may be amazing.  Don't get me wrong I am a realist, I know that when things go bad that alone is an awful experience, however looking for the positive in every negative helps me through. 

I am the type of person who always has a smile on her face, who will lift you up when you are down even if I'm on my death bed.  I would do anything for a laugh and ultimately want to make everyone happy.  If you were to ask anyone who really knows me they would say I am one of the most positive happy people they know.

Today I was called a negative influence by someone I hold on a pedestal higher than I probably should.  While initially this broke my heart, and yes I shed a tear, I had to realize there is a reason for this.  My organic life style is not about retaliation, or hate, or anger.  Perhaps there is deeper meaning here and there is something I must search inside myself to fix.  Perhaps there is an internal struggle with the important figure in my life who calls me negative. I have been blind sided by this comment however I have definitely learned when the going get tough the tough does in fact get going.

No matter what life throws our way, weather negative or positive,  we must remember there is a reason, it could always be worse.  Look for the rainbow in every storm.  Living the whole organic lifestyle is about being healthy and inner peace as well as positivity is what keeps us healthy, well-rounded beings.

Something I like to share, while every day may not be good, there is something good in every day.  You just have to keep an open mind and look for it, before you know it the good will fall in your lap!
