Steemit Power Of Positivity P.O.P Contest #27 - my life must count

in #jerrybanfield7 years ago

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situations I may be for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our disposition and not upon our circumstances.

And what is our disposition?
A disposition is the typical attittude or mood we have each day. Also, this important quality reflects the tendency for how we act in life's circumstances.

The question we should be asking is what are the inputs in our lives (circumstances) and how are we responding to them....

LIFE IS HARD-
I am from a polygamous family where male children is a pride of a mother and signifies abd honour to the father.
Being the only child of my mother, I witnessed how she was maltreated and was denied feeding money from my father. This happened untill I was seven years old before my mother eventually bore my father a son.

Thinking about the lessons of her life, three words were all she had to offer about her life experience --"Life is hard"
I took her words as a yoing lady knowing I could equally go through such trying period when she shared about her past. Thus, her disposition was of endurance and resilience despite her hardships.

The negative examples of failure and lost opportunities might always be there but the positive habits that people are engaging in daily need to be encouraged if we want to see them increase.
If we find a positive in every crisis we might have the joy we long for. Our disposition is not influenced by what happenes in our life instead, it is influenced continually by how we respond to our life.
By considering the strength in your life, I am confident that you will find the joy siunds you.
"My life must count today"
