Father,
I've discovered something important: Life is a matter of perspective. When I wake up, if I look at my day as though it's going to be boring or hard or something like that, then I'll probably have a bad day. But if I look at it in a positive light, and focus on that as I live the day, I'll most likely have a good day. This is much more important than it seems. Perspective determines how you live, and in a way, who you are. I remember around this time last year I was living with a negative perspective. Then Carley told me she was going to start thinking more positively. I guess I realized that that was a good idea, so I made that decision as well. Now, I feel like I fully understand the importance of positive thinking. Lord God, help me to see the beauty in all things. Not just in things I like, but things I don't as well. Be it something as small and trivial as food, or something deep and complex like people. You can't love someone if you have a negative perspective.
Thank you Father.
