What's Happening?
Every time I open up the Twitter app on my phone, Twitter always has one simple question: What’s Happening? After scrolling through my tweets and taking a look at what has been happening in my life, I can organize all of my tweets into three categories. They are:
- Funny Tweets
2. Fan Tweets
3. Life Tweets
After posting a recent Life Tweet, my teammate Grace gave me the idea that this tweet should be the theme of my next blog.
I know that for many people 2016 was a tough year. I won’t argue that, but maybe this year wasn’t as bad as we think. It is very easy to focus on the negative and forget about all of the positive that we have experienced in the last 366 days. When we decide to pay more attention to the positive, the last year doesn’t seem so bad after all!
As my family and I went through a really tough time a few years ago, I remember these words of wisdom that were shared with me, “You just have to take the bitter with the sweet.”
I understand; I’ve been there. When it rains, it pours. However, there is always some good that comes with the bad. Look for the good. Ditch the attitude of negativity and choose the one of positivity. When we change our attitude, we can change our year and change our world! Make the decision to make 2017 a good year despite whatever hardship comes your way.
Heading into the new year, keep in mind these words from my good friend Zach from Iowa:
2017 will be a good year when we decide to make it a good year!
