Nice post. Inspiring. I remember thinking the same thing about day to day stuff. That it just really isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. Travelling helped me gain a sense of perspective on this. When it came down to it, I simplified my own purpose and how I deal with things. Now, (well, admittedly, not always) I focus on positivity out, positivity back. When you do and act in a positive way, the world acts in a positive way back to you. Negative thoughts breed negativity. By having a positive outlook and focusing on that I found people around me treated me better and I increased my productivity. I also use this philosophy in my diet. Do I want to feel good? Of course. In order to do so, I must feed myself good food. Positivity in, positivity out.
Yeah, but staying positive, especially when everything seems to be negative, does get very hard. It takes a lot of determination and help to be able to think like that and not be able to think too negatively. Hey, but giving up isnt going to help, now is it?
