The Company You Keep

I am a firm believer in if you think positive thoughts, positive things will happen.  Kind of like the “for every action, there is a reaction” theory.  I believe if you think “positive” (action), you will end up with “positive” things happening to you (reaction.)  Start thinking “positive” thoughts and see how your life can turn around!!

Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t always thought that way though.  I guess I learned my lesson, when I was a single parent raising 3 children on my own.  I struggled raising my children, don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t change having my children for the world.  If I only knew back then NOT to doubt things.  For example, there were times when I was struggling trying to make ends meet, things would happen and I would wonder why.  I wondered why were “bad” things happening to me?  I knew there were murderers and rapists out in the world, that were getting off from their crime.  Here I was a single parent not causing any one any problems and I was struggling to have a “normal” life.  I wondered why “bad” things were happening to this good person?  I was realizing though that I shouldn’t doubt why I was going through these “bad” times, but I kept thinking that maybe I was a “bad” person.  I didn’t know what “bad” I was doing though.  I did know that I was doubting my faith and that the reason why I was having “bad” things happen was because I was doubting my faith.

That was part of the lesson I was learning was NOT to doubt my faith, but now looking back I should have been thinking “positive.”  I should have instead of fallen to the “bad”, pity me, I should have been thinking “positive” things.

So, it’s true That “The Company You Keep” such as having “positive” thoughts is how things will turn out.  Just like if you surround yourself with negative things, soon you will be down and thinking “negative” thoughts as well.  So think “positive” thoughts and the “positive” will follow you.

    • I salute you for being a single parent, bringing up your kids single handedly.
      It is not easy to stay positive all the time but you did it well.
      Telling yourself that everything will be alright, it is not your fault for what had happened, is a miracle.

      However, with friends and family members to support you not financially but emotionally, I am sure you will find the right company that keep you going.
