You're a mean one Mr. Grinch

Have you met these people? They try and try to bring sadness or upset into your life and yet each day you get up singing like the characters in whoville...

Because you have a choice. You can either let their negative actions consume you or you can learn that those actions speak more about them than they do you. 

For me life has been a series of ups and downs, and these ups and downs are the life changing ones, the shocking ones you read in the headlines. Hearing a doctor tell you "your son is not going to make it" forever changes all the rules!

But more than that I want to bring happiness to peoples lives, not more sadness and heartache. I want to be the sunshine, the light the opposite choice of sadness. I want to bring hope and love and the reminder that karma does exist, and it will happen without my attention to the negative.

Take those positive steps to make your day a good one. Make a list of all the things you want to do and create in this life and study that. Those little things and small minded people no longer matter. A favorite quote for me "the elephant keeps walking while the dog keeps barking." Learning to ignore the noise they belch is actually quite rewarding.

Life is hard enough without the added drama. People you love going through heartache and real life hardships change your perspective. You become an advocate and voice for them. You realize those petty things are not important and you learn to truly count your blessings!
