Its all.on how you look at things

As I was talking to a friend yesterday, I realized it is all in how you look at any one given circumstance. Same event, two people, two totally.different views kn it. ( and they wonder how so many different religions interpreted the same bible) I on one hand see everything in life as a positive,something,you can learn from,there is always something to be learned. My friend on the other hand sees everything from the glass is half empty standpoint,the world is horrible and out to get her and that she cant figure out why the same things keep happening over and over to her. Its all about how"you" chose to live your life,it.is your choice I could chose to wake up and say "oh my back hurts, I'm too old to be thinking I can do this triathlon,why bother trying, this one hurt me so many times, I will never trust again, all men are pigs ect... yet I chose to wake up and say "thank you God for.giving me another day, I am going to do this triathlon,I may not place first ,but hell if.I dont die trying, yea I was hurt but what lesson did that teach me.?what was my part in it? Not all men are pigs,thats like saying all women are bitches and I know I'm not and I know other great women in my life aren't, I will always trust people because I believe the best in them until you give me a.reason not to. If you dont trust, you cant love and if you cant love what is life worth living for... You might get hurt,their might be people out there that want to take advantage of you, but if your not open and willing to take a risk then your not truly enjoying life to the fullest. I want to be on my death bed and say I lived big and I loved big and I have no regrets!
