"If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it."
I've thought about the above quote a lot lately, especially when I see people around me being the way I was a few months ago. I can tell that they're unhappy, miserable, and that something in their life isn't going the way they'd like it to be. I've been in the same situation so I wonder if these people are actually doing anything about their situation. I'm not actually close to some of these people, but a lot of the times I see their Facebook statuses are depressing, complaining, or always about this one thing they haven't obtained which he or she feels like it's only thing important in their life. You know what? It's not.
It took me a while to get myself out of my own rut. I finally decided to take real action when I realized I sort of caused my own unhappiness. I wasn't where I wanted to be and I realized it was because it was my own damn fault--no one else's. No one is going to live your life except you. People will empathize your situation, but in the end, you're the only one who will be miserable because you will have to deal with the situation you're in.
Of course, things aren't always in our control. We can try to change something, but it's not always up to us. The important thing though, is trying, and still having a positive attitude when things don't turn out the way we want it to be. Falling down is okay; people just need to learn how to pick themselves up.
