Every moment is perfect...

If you want it to be. I am noticing again, the power of positive thinking. Perhaps it doesn't change the entire situation, but I am finding it changes how I feel about it. No matter what "it" is.

I believe I learned this by learning that I can only control myself and my own actions and responses and also to let go of everything and not hold on so tight. Everything will happen in its time and I don't need control every aspect of life. Besides being incredibly tiring it seemed like I was constantly fighting my way like a salmon swimming upstream.

I am no longer like that and I no longer do that to myself, or those I surround myself with. My way isn't the only way, nor is it the right way for everyone, and that is ok.

I have found that by releasing the control I thought I needed, I can actually see the situation and the good side of it, instead of only concentrating on the parts of it I didn't like and wanted to rid myself of.

The two main benefits I find are being so much less stressed about life and everything in it which basically eliminate any sort of drama and I am a lot happier. Who wouldn't be if they aren't stressed? Seriously though, I find when I'm not focused on the negative part of a situation I can see the good side, the benefits; and to me, that is a much happier place to be.
