A lot of interesting things happened this year. Some good, some bad. I've been doing my best this year to try to change how I react to things, and I have to say it's been a relatively mixed bag of results.
Self-awareness helps, but I really have a challenging time changing my perspective and my mentality. I keep trying though, and trying to break really old habits and comfort zones.
It's a process, I guess. I keep trying to remind myself how I should think and behave, and hoping for the best as well. I'm not sure how long I have to keep at this so that I can make it second nature for me, but keep at it I must.
My wife is right, it's all about changing perspective. Rather than trying to focus on the negative things, try to find the bright spot. It may be hard to find, but it's always there. And adapting a relatively positive attitude will help a lot with me going through the rest of my life.
Out.
