The Brighter Side of Life

It's 1am on a Thursday morning & I'm still up. As usual.

Yesterday (Wednesday) was a day filled with one word: inspiration.

First, the ability to dig DEEP within your brain to re-access knowledge & skills from the past that hasn't been used in years & being successful at it (despite doubts & honest fears of unsuccess) encourages & inspires one to keep on going & re-invigorates the spirit.

Second, going to work unexpectedly, caring for patients who are suffering from the worst possible diseases & medical problems, & STILL seeing an extremely positive & grateful attitude within them, is rare. And in those rare moments, one can't help but have a mixture of emotions.

For one thing, having patients like that is a breath of fresh air, since most of them have such a negative & discouraging outlook, understably of course.

In addition to that, it makes one re-analyze their OWN life to see how every single day, society complains about so many things, a majority of those things being so miniscule.

It makes you feel kind of embarrassed & ashamed, to be frank. If these patients, who are in the worst possible state the human body could possibly be in, STILL have a much brighter & more positive outlook on life, it makes you realize that we all sweat the little things & should be more grateful with what we have.

I am nothing short of inspired. And encouraged.

Life is something we should all strive to love & respect...

...& to also let go of the little complaints & have gratitude for being ALIVE.

I love what I do. This is what I live for.

To make myself available for the healing & well-being of others. And to become healed myself from the experiences I gain.

I am so lucky & thankful.

'Til next time.

Deuces.
