Never Get Discouraged, Think positive! There isn’t a single person who doesn’t experience hardship and even trauma in their. Life can be hard, from growing up in poverty to hunger, to violence to maintaining a job and there are a litany of things that cause stress. The good thing is even if supposed “bad” things are always happening you can “choose” how you respond to them. There will always be challenges because that is what life is about, but keep in mind with the challenges there comes times of happiness. You got to believe that the times of happiness will continue and deliver what you want. It all comes down to having a positive attitude. Not letting things that cause stress to take over your mind. Be determined to make negative circumstances and events a learning moment. And then put them behind you and focus on being positive and what’s the next amazing adventure. Never get discouraged because if you are diligently focusing on the positives they will eventually return and be at the front of your life. Always look at bad circumstances as temporary and believe that God will always deliver happiness no matter where you are in life. Make a commitment to be positive and happy all the time even in hard times. Daria Gatteson
