“I am inhabited by a cry. Nightly it flaps out looking, with its hooks, for something to love. I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me; all day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity. ” -Sylvia Plath
People have different problems in life , some have small problems, some have big problems, and even so, there are some people that we see all the time with a smile upon their face. Why is that?
Do you think that a person that smiles has no problems?
The difference between a burdoned person and a free happy one is the way they aproach their problems. Someone said: ” do not think negative, that is only attracting problems in your life”. I did not want to believe but in time I realized that it is true.
Worrying and thinking only of problems is not solving anything, all you do is to get more and more bitter, because thinking like that you might come from small problems to uncover also older problems and you might end by hurting yourself even more. Is that ok?
Why not try to look for the positive part even in problems? Why when we find a rock on our way , we always stop in front of it and stop from moving forward instead of walking around it? I think there will always be an exit door from problems, we only need to have our eyes open, so that we can see it.
