With No Pain There Would Be No Joy

In stark contrast to yesterday's post, I have to say, life is making it pretty hard to stay happy and focused right now. I wrote yesterday's post just as I was on my way out the door to go and see my lawyer. In my meeting I discovered a little twist to my tale which is going to prove to be an expensive, difficult and time consuming one. Decisions have to made where I genuinely don't know what would be best. Still, I continued to be positive.
Today started out the same way - fun, productive etc. And yet, something just didn't feel right inside and a sadness was taking over. I know I was feeling certain pressures over the previous day, and unsure about how to continue. Then I spoke to a friend that I am very, very close to and he is going through an awful time. And when someone I truly care about is in pain, I feel that pain too. Plus, he's been going through tough times for quite a while and I guess for the both of us, a part of my mind is questioning when is it going to turn around for the better. We both still continue to believe though, and continue to stay on our path.
Today was just one of those days I guess. Tough situations have occurred and you have to make some equally tough decisions about how to move ahead and move on. With my mindset the way it is, I am past the habit of staying in a low mood. So I spoke to some friends - shared my thoughts and problems, and discussed solutions. The resolution is to fixate on what I want, to dwell on abundance and keep moving forward. I've been thinking about the past a lot lately, and I can say for sure that I am in a much, much better place than I was a year ago. And it will keep getting better. You just have to trust in that.
