I read this a few weeks ago and was reminded of its truth:
Remember what photography was like before everything went digital? When you took a picture, the first thing you’d get was a negative. Then you’d develop the negative into a positive by going into a darkroom and shining a light through it onto photographic paper. This turned the negative into a positive, full-color photograph. That’s what God wants to do with the injustices in our lives.
Rick Warren
We all have them.
On any given day we are faced with many negative experiences.
People mistreat us.
They pass over us.
They take advantage of us.
It’s not easy, but we can take all the negatives in our life and turn them into positives. A full-color picture of the life we were made to live.
It starts with accepting that life doesn’t always go as planned. And a willingness to roll with the unexpected roadblocks that pop up along the way and make detours when necessary.
Then, change your perspective. What you may initially view as a negative may be a blessing in disguise.
The choice is yours.
Whether you are happy or unhappy, it’s up to you to choose how you react to situations when they present themselves.
“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.”
Wade Boggs
