We live in a world surrounded by negativity. Last night, I realized something special. I am surrounded by people who are making a conscious effort to improve their well being. Everyone has demons. If you don’t then you haven’t lived. Even Jesus battled some. We live to get past those hurdles and right now, in every facet of my life, I see people making an effort to get the better of them. This pattern has been truly remarkable. I can think of at least a dozen people off the top of my head who are doing this.
My siblings and I have PTSD. Right now, in some miracle we are all working on it independently so it doesn’t hold us back. My girlfriend recently made a big investment in her health. A local business owner who I am close with, is making a conscious effort to get his health right. Church friends and family are trying to improve themselves. My friends are making efforts for their well being. Seeing the volume of people that are putting the work in to be better versions of themselves is amazing.
The best part is that none of these people are doing this in a selfish manner. If anything, they are doing it so they can be better to others. We must take care of ourselves before we can take care of others; otherwise we are no good to others. These people are great influences on my life. I am better for having them in my life. The world is better for having them.
