Affirmations of Life

I have this funny saying that I read on some sight not to long ago. I that it was a very great saying and a very interesting way at thinking about bad things. The saying was, "Be more positive. If you fall down a flight of stairs, instead of being negative, think, 'Wow! I got down those stairs fast!'". It is a simple witty saying, but I like it a lot. It really isn't as practical as most other saying are, but it just kind of drives home the point of looking at negative things in a different way to get more out of life. Sometimes things can be made into a joke, but I know personally that everything happens for a reason. In my oldest sister's senior year, she was a goalie for Jefferson High School. Jefferson has never been a good team, but they still had to play against Boylan which was considered a state bound team. My sister successfully shut Boylan out in the first half of a soccer game. She was an excellent keeper. She has three different full rides to different colleges to be a keeper at the college. In this game a player came from behind her and slide talked her for no reason. No foul was called. This tackle snapped my sister's ACL and took all full rides away from her. Normally this would be terrible, but the story continues as sh went to school with her boyfriend and they are now happily married with a wonderful son. If she would have taken one of the full rides she probably wouldn't be married. So I think of everything happens for a reason.
