It's not the events in our lives that upsets us. It's how we think about them. If something bad happens, we may complain and fear we'll never feel better again.
But someone else in the same situation might say, "Gee, that's too bad, but I know I can handle it." The same event, two different perspectives. We can't control many of the things that happen to us, but we can control how we react to them.
I'd like things to go my way, but, really, there's nothing that says they should. I need to remind myself that I have what it takes to improve my mood...and my life.
People fall in and out of love in unimaginable ways and in unfortunate events, things fall apart and waves of unbearable emotions sways. The first couple of steps, we collapse. Fatigue drowns and we're being dragged under. We hear our bosses complain and pose threats for our performances. Parents nag about the simplest things such as you taking care of yourself and their most common question, "What are you going to do with your life?"
We get upset when we're going through events, questions or anything that goes against what we don't want to answer or to do. But how do we react to it? Do you keep thinking about it and let it constantly reminiscence around? Or do you shake it off and keep the track moving in an positive alternative?
I used to let things reminiscence around because it preserves a specific feeling I wanted to continue having. But reality snaps and I have to proceed. If you don't move on, YOUR world will forever be THAT small. And most importantly, you will not know how to really care for "The Self." I'm moving on. Where are you at?
