The breaking point...

When you fail tests,
somehow life seems to fall apart,
It's not THAT big of a deal...
but it just starts with those little things like
doing bad on a test,
and everything seems to snowball into a bad day...
and how do we change that?

Well to be honest with ya that ^ was me today and at one point in my day I just wanted to quit, I wanted to go curl up the corner and never leave. Then I remembered this fabulous quote:

So with that and general conference thoughts popping into my head,
I decided to change my day.
I looked at the positive:
  • I have wonderful friends who listen to all my complaining
  • I have a family who loves me (even if I do fail my test)
  • There's always someone that's in a worse situation than me
  • My situations definitely not that bad
  • I have the gospel in my life and am lucky enough to be blessed with such a wonderful life full of wonderful people and wonderful things....
  • Ultimately I realized I just need to be more grateful
  • Plus I realized that 'fail' just stands for:
 F- first
 A- attempt
I- in
 L- learning
:)

"When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry,
show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile."
