Own It Work It
Staying Positive
It's hard to always have a positive outlook. Yes it is hard to always see the positive, but there is a
lot of positive in the world, just as there is negativity. But the hardest thing to remember sometimes
is to focus on the positives! Life’s experiences will make it that much
harder to find the positives in life, but moving forward is what I have to do.
When I lost our first baby, I was so mad and saw all the bad
things! I had every right to be mad, and
to say it was not fair, but I knew I could not stay in that negativity much
longer because I could feel myself sinking deeper and deeper into that black
space that I knew I really didn't want to go. I was grieving, but I also let the darkness creep
in. But one day I got up, got dressed,
put on my game face and said no! I had
to find the light; I had to find the positive.
It was the only salvation I could think of besides God!
I had had enough and was determined not to fall into
that cold world of negativity! Negativity is such a drag, such a drain of
energy that I didn't want. I knew I was better than that, I knew what I
had been through; what me and my husband had been through, I knew I was strong
even if I could not see my own strength!
I started seeing the positive!
Life is not all hunky dory, but finding the positive will
change your life! In me and my husbands’ situation; losing our
baby made me Thankful for everything! Yes
it hurts every single day, but I cannot mope around and let all the negative of
the world consume me and drain my energy!
Instead, I am, owning my life, taking control, learning to see the
positive and making a difference!
I’m still learning how to see the positive on a daily basis and
learning to let go a little and let those positive things influence me;
influencing me into making a difference not only for myself but for others. Our loss has made me see the other side of
life! Yes losing a child is the worst of
the worst feelings in the world, and the worst experience ever, but our baby
has taught me to appreciate life and see the good, to know that there is also
good in every bad situation.
Without the bad negativity there would be no good positives. Without the negatives you would not know what
positive is! You can’t have one without the other. That’s why I say it’s imperative to always
seek the positive in the darkest of the darkest and to remember to find life’s
positive moments and experiences everyday!
