I try not say I'm having a bad day, either. Why? Because the day itself is the same for everyone experiencing it. Its just a day; it's not bad or good. Our attitudes about the day may be negative or bad things may have happened on that day, but it's no fault of the day itself. The day doesn't do anything wrong. Instead, i like to say "I'm in a bad mood today" or "I have a bad attitude about the day".
Life is all about your attitude. You get back what you give out in most cases. You can enter every day with a smile and a positive attitude, that doesn't mean that nothing bad is ever going to happen. It does, however, help you to better deal with the negative things that are taking place. For example... you get dressed, eat breakfast, spill juice on your white shirt; but you've already left home. You can go through your entire day mad because you have a spot on your shirt or you can laugh it off and joke about the hole in your bottom lip that caused you to spill the juice; and still enjoy your day. Another example.... You walk outside to get in the car and you have a flat tire which is definitely going to make you late for an appointment. You can have a fit; cry, cuss, kick , and scream like a kid. All of which is taking more time away from the solution, changes your mood, and doesn't get your tire fixed. Or, you can realize you have a flat tire, inform the person with whom you are meeting and push time back a little while you get it taken care of. You can take a taxi and deal with the tire later. But, to let one minor mishap or event ruin your mood and attitude about an entire day is just too taxing. It's exhausting being upset. Anytime I cry, I need a nap; it takes a lot out of a person to be angry and evil.
Now, if you experience a major trauma or loss, it won't be as easy to brush off or turn the other cheek, but that still doesn't mean that you have to let it ruin your attitude. Things happen in life, to everyone. No one goes through life completely void of stumbling blocks, bumps, and bruises, the key is simply how you deal with them. Before I changed my way of thinking and handling my problems I would see people who seemed so happy and cheerful ALL the time and i would think "nobody is that damn happy everyday". Well, now I know that they probably are. When you stop making mountains out of every drop of negativity that comes your way, you can enjoy life more. You have more room for happiness and positivity. You have more time to smile and laugh when you aren't fighting back tears.I still have a lot of learning and growing to do, but I'm better than I was!
Now, the title makes reference to the all too famous Facebook, a social networking site.
There is so much drama on Facebook. People actually beef over pictures, status updates, comments, etc. Facebook drama has broken up homes, ended friendships, caused break ups and divorces. I'm 137% positive that when Mark Zuckerberg created the site, this was far from his intentions. There are a lot of people who use Facebook for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways.
Some people that are in relationships, use Facebook to meet new people------WRONG
Some people get on Facebook, to be nosy. They snoop around, assume, and spread gossip based on things learned from Facebook--------WRONG
You get the idea. If I'm not mistaken, Facebook was created for people to stay i touch. To share thoughts, ideas, products, pictures, etc. Facebook is a place for FRIENDS; at least its supposed to be. I have Facebook friends that I don't ever see in public or call or visit, but we have a good time communicating online and I appreciate that. I appreciate being able to meet a perfect stranger and find out what we have in common in less than 5 minutes. I enjoy posting pictures of my son and receiving feedback. I enjoy updating my status and generating conversations. I enjoy reading about what's on other people's minds.
What I don't enjoy is not being able to communicate with my friends via Facebook because they have been bogged down by all the negativity on Facebook and deleted their accounts. I don't enjoy negative status updates about people that lead to 149 negative comments that has then become a Facebook war. That's so silly and childish. Half of the time people argue online and then ignore each other in public. It seems like it would make so much more sense if that was reversed, but hey... who am I to call the shots?
To sum it all up, if you keep a positive attitude in life, you're better off... POINT BLANK PERIOD!!!
Peace & Blessings.
