I do not understand how you do it; I hope that someday I do. Every time something goes wrong, every time you struggle, you manage to find something positive. You turn around anything negative that you come across into a benefit.
You tell me that it's because we do not have a lot of time in this life, so why waste it being upset about something? Why do we spend our time dwelling on our failures and less time focusing on what we can do to ensure that we don't fail again? I have tried to figure it out. I have tried to adapt your way of thinking.
It's hard.
Having you in my life shows me that it can happen. Having someone like you makes me believe that I can share in your outlook on the world. I have struggled with seeing only the negatives in my life. I have fought through hard times and hated myself along the way. I have never looked forward to what tomorrow has to bring...until I met you.
“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” - Lyndon B. Johnson
You live your life by this quote. You have a way of letting go of the things that you know you cannot fix or change. You're ability to do this astounds me. You forget what happened yesterday or even a few hours ago and focus on the new things to come.
Our happiness does not come from what we are provided with or what others can give us. It does not come from our achievements or our material possessions. It comes from our overall outlook on the world. Your outlook is the best one I have seen thus far.
I would like to thank you for that.
Thank you for showing me that there are positive people left in this world. Thank you for allowing me the time to get to know you and attempt to understand your way of thinking. Please never let your positivity fade; it makes you a great person and gives everyone around you a positivity that they may not have had before.
I admire you.
Thank you for that.
