For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But here was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that this was my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way
**Alfred D Souza
For those who know me, I have always been the type of person to see the "silver lining", the "light at the end of the tunnel", and "the glass half full" instead of half empty. Recent events in my life seem to have sucked every ounce of my positive disposition from my being. I have never felt so out of control and negative in my entire life, as I have recently. Today, I was browsing through the MySpace pages of random friends and acquaintances when I came across this quote. It was like a breath of fresh air to read someone’s interpretation of life, and to feel like they tapped into my brain to tell me what I have been needing to hear. When you are caught up in the moment, it is hard to understand the most simple fact of it all, that it is all just a part of life. We cannot change or alter it in any way except by choosing how we feel about it. We have two choices in life,and that is be happy, or not. Death is a part of life, and decisions, whether bad or good are a part of life too. We just have to have an understanding that no matter what happens, it is our choice to be happy or sad. Life’s journey takes us many places and through many situations outside of our control, and I now have a clearer understanding of what that means to me.
