Choosing Sunshine

I recently committed to looking on the bright side.

And it got me thinking, can we CHOOSE to live an optimistic lifestyle, even during hard times?

Can we commit to looking at the bright side when things aren’t going our way?

Can we commit to looking at the bright side when we’re overcoming obstacles?

Can we commit to looking at the bright side when our future is uncertain?

Can we ask that of people when they’re at their lowest?

The truth is, I don’t know.

But I know this is someone I want to be.

I want to be someone who looks at the bright side through thick and thin.

I want to be someone who can find the silver lining.

I want to be someone who does not stop chasing the sun.

So do we just decide to become these people? Do we focus on the solution instead of the problem? Do we decide to be the type of person who does not give up?

I think we do. I think it can be a decision to be optimistic, to stay in the light, to never give up.

Some people go through a challenge and allow it to destroy them, and some people go through the exact same challenge and come out stronger on the other side, we get to decide which camp we fall into.

Being an eternal optimist does not mean it's always sunshine and roses, but it's a commitment to find that little bit of light and bask in the sun, even if it's just for a moment.

Keep inspiring,

Nicole
