I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and most importantly, I believe in miracles.
-Audrey Hepburn.
"Tomorrow is another day" how true that little quote is. You know when you just have one of those days when you just think life would be better if you just shoot yourself? Well, I had one of those days this week. I swear everything went wrong that day... went to bed late (first warning), woke up late and didn't get to shower, got to work late, all my appointments went past time, and it took about a little over an hour to get home when it only takes about 25 minutes. You get the point, it was just a day. When I was driving home I was just stressed to the max... wanting to get home, shower and get ready for a date I had. I just had to turn off the music, roll down my window and just breath.
When I was just sitting there in traffic I realized right now I'm learning patience. I need to not get mad and be grumpy all day just because of little things here and there and it was my fault for going to bed so late and it was just a domino effect after that. I also realized we get to choose if we are going to be happy or mad. And why choose to be mad and make your day terrible when you can be happy? There is a famous quote by Mildred Barthel that says, "Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response." How true that quote is, at least for me. When everything is wrong you just have to take a step back and breathe and remember tomorrow is a new day and this stress, hurt, pain and worry is just temporarily here. And even though the world and some people are really negative we can choose how we respond to it.
Another thing that has been on my mind a ton is not knowing the ending of my life story. One thing that I do whenever I first get a new book or about to buy one is read the very last page to figure out the end of the story. To see if it's a happy or a sad ending. I just like knowing everything that will happen. And I can apply this to my life in every way. I like to know everything that is going to happen. I am one that will write out what I will do that day, what stores and errands I need to make... sure I love being spontaneous every once in a while but most of the time I like to plan everything out. And with my life I don't know. I don't know what I will be doing in a year from now and that scares me so, so bad. I want to know if I'll be happy, have a new job, my friends, if I will have a boy and if we will be in love... and who knows? I know I sure don't! And I hate not knowing. I want to know. And during conference I heard a talk about having faith in the Lord is also having trust in him. And to trust that everything will turn out the way it's supposed to. You need to have constant faith in the Savior and faith will help you trust in him."We cannot have true faith in the Lord without also having complete trust in the Lord's will and the Lord's timing." And when we have that true faith and trust we will be a lot happier and I'm still developing that but as I am seeking it I already am feeling so much happier. I'm just trying to take one day at a time and not stress about what's going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. You just have to work through all your struggles. Your struggles are defining character. If y'all are LDS and have time look up my favorite scripture- D&C 58:3-4 it's a perfect scripture for my life right now.
