Day 205 - 2012 Expectations

"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person, 
is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian"....Dennis Wholey 


I love that quote.  It is so true.  You hear people say all the time, " I am a good person why does this happen to me."  Well it is not just happening to you, we all go through things.  We all have our ups and downs.  Most people have that moment of  'why me?',  but we know that it is not just us.  Everyone goes through trials.  It is called life.  Life is not fair. Life can be down right mean. But life makes us who we are.  Life makes us see, the beauty through the pain.  Life can make us shining brightly in the darkest moment. Life teaches us that we are stronger than we believe we are. 

Do not go through life expecting that because you life a good life and are a good person that bad things will not happen.  Without the bad, you do not know that you are truly a good person.  A good person rises above because of the bad, not for the lack of the bad.  A good person, sees the good even through trying times. A good person, helps others even if they are hurting inside. A good person is selfless through the bad, and expects to over come the bad, but does not expect the bad to come along.

Rise above the bad, reset your expectations and prove over and over how good you are. Help others see the light at the end of the tunnel.  As there is always a light, you just have to look for it really hard sometimes.
