i was having a conversation with a friend of mine on friday about how we're affected by life's experiences....and she used the word 'jaded' a few times....it jarred in my ears...

"am i jaded?" i thought to myself...

no :) ...i'm richer for life's experiences and everything that this life has given me...i have a LOT to be thankful for...and i'd really rather not live my life as a result of the 'bad' experiences i've had in the past....sure i've learnt a lot from them, but if i've had a bad experience with work yesterday - i'd like to think that were i to encounter a similar situation tomorrow - i would look at it from a fresh perspective and not let yesterday's bad vibes effect today...my point is - if you wanted to be, there's TONS of stuff that you can be cynical about....people, events, situations...but you can choose not to be. It's a choice. And it's a powerful choice - because there's a LOT of positivity that will come your way...if you just choose to smile :)...if you choose to relate to people as 'possibilities' and not 'probabilities'....if you choose to say, "fuck man...this sucks....but i'm gonna do something about it, i'll make it happen".....positivity begets positivity....likewise if ur cynical - that cynicism will come right back at you...

I hope you have a truly FABULOUS week! Make it a memorable one! You can choose to ;)
