I'm an odd onion of layers to peel back. In my deepest core, I've always been a hopeless romantic. I suppose being jaded and and years of hurt have led me to be more cautious, but that hope still comes alive. And through it all, many people look at me and think that I'm a pessimist. I don't say so. I say I'm a realist. I take things for what they are. But the hope I've had created a way for me to find the silver lining. I've noticed that when I show people the silver lining, they are very confused by me. They give me a pat on the back and condescendingly tell me how proud of me they are.
On-ion. Seeing a silver lining is easy for me. It's the hopeless romantic in me that believes something better is right around the corner. Recently I had a very difficult meeting. Truly difficult. What was supposed to be a professional meeting, turned into someone telling intimate details about their life that did not have anything to do with the meeting. Despite me trying to steer conversation in the right direction, I was brought back into one sided conversations of things unnecessary and inappropriate. I left the meeting frustrated, My brain was frazzled and I was left both speechless and ready to word vomit my frustration. So, what did I take away? A brilliant book idea. Don't worry it isn't about the meeting or the person. The concept began to form from all the thinking that I was forced to do. I could rant and rave. I could be frustrated. Or I can take a bad situation and make it good. We're only given one shot at life. Your choices determine your situation. Sure, we can be dealt some bad hands, but it's how we choose to play the cards that determine if we come out winners or loser. Go play the game. Live life.
