If your life was coming to an end next week, would you still choose to be upset about all these little things? Would we choose to suffer and worry about the distractions of life? Or would we seek the higher purpose in our lives to pull us forward?
As the saying goes, "You have a million problems today, but if you get sick tomorrow, you have only one problem."
Having a higher purpose in life will pull you through the bad days and the various barren stretches through your life. The barren stretches and difficult times happen to us all, the question is how we better deal with them and overcome them.
Are you annoyed in the morning, or happy that you've awakened yet another day? It's up to you to decide that.
I think it begins with choosing to be happy and content with where we are and finding a purpose higher than ourselves to work for in this life.
From that will stem longevity, consistency, and contentment.
