It’s been pressed on my heart to change my perspective. It’s so easy to look at life, focus on the low moments, and decide to have a negative outlook.
“I never will.”
“I don’t know how.”
“They don’t understand me.”
I challenge you to switch it up. Why worry about the rain clouds when you know the sun is right around the corner? Remember, though tears come at night, joy comes in the morning.* If you’re struggling with self doubt or just lack of opportunity, search for the sun. Realize the blessings in your life. Work on the things you know need improvement. Continue to practice self care and love yourself throughout this twenty something journey. If one thing doesn’t work, try something else. If something failed, try one more time. Allow yourself to conquer the defeat.
“I certainly will.”
“I can learn how.”
“I’ll explain another way so they’ll understand me.”
Realize that trials aren’t here to hurt you but rather to build you up. Your foundation and confidence is that God has it under control. Enjoy the journey. Trust the journey. Prosper in the journey. It’s not over yet. The sun is shining somewhere.

* “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” – Psalm 30:5
