Perception

Today will be a new chapter in my life. That doesn’t mean I’ll forget all the old chapters because this one won’t make sense without them.

I can’t exactly pinpoint the precise moment that I realised I should change my perspective. In a nutshell, it’s determination and desperation. That all sounds very traumatic, but it’s not as bad as it seems.

Perception is the key to happiness. If you only ever focus on the negative, that’s all you’ll get from the world. However, if you do your best to see the positive, you’ll get much more out of the world.

I can’t thank the person who told me that enough. While this may only be day 1, it’s a start. Over the next however many days, I will say one thing that I am grateful for.

Today, I am grateful for my Dad.
