"THINGS COULD BE WORSE"

How do you see the glass, half full or half empty? Do you look on the bright side? What about thinking things could be worse? I have a slight problem with the,  "things could be worse" theory. Things can of coarse always be worse, but things can also be better! Negatives can become positives, with work and change. Life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change. Don't accept a bad situation merely because it, "could" be worse, that's taking the easy way out. That type of thinking does not empower you to fight or become a stronger person. In some instances I would say it is acceptable to use this cliche; a car accident for example, where the car was totaled, but no one got hurt -- that could have been worse. If you find yourself in a constant state of depression, or misery, and you always think, "I accept this because, after all, it could be worse," that is not okay, but it is typical of the depressed mind. Again, true to my book title, it's the depression talking. It's little things like this we might not notice that keep us stuck in that negative state of mind. Changing little things like this can make all the difference in the world to someone that is prone to depression or negativity. Pay close attention to that voice in your head, folks. It truly makes a difference!
