Life through 'rose-tinted specs'

Have you ever heard of people seeing life through 'rose tinted specs'? Are things looking 'rosy' for you right now?, or are they actually coming up 'smelling of roses' for you? We can't always control our circumstances or environment but we CAN make an arbitrary decision as to how we choose to respond to anything life throws at us-in that we do have a choice. We can choose to 'react'[re-enact] our old negative programming or we can choose to 'create' a new thought about it. It's a habit worth forming as I wasted many, many years worrying over things which never came to pass, or, if they did, I seemed to find the strength to get through. We are all of us stronger than we dreamed possible and remember that the only thing permanent in life is impermanence! When we accept that and learn to accept change, everything flows-What we resist, persists!
