Yesterday i was leaving my house,headed to my hometown where i will be spending the next two weeks with my family and friends. I made my suitcase(took more clothes than i anticipated which i always end up doing),cleaned up the house,did the dishes,locked the house et cetera et cetera. I was running low on cash so i had to take the long and tough road to get to the bus station. That includes getting to the metro station,board on a wagon,change wagons,get out of the station,then take a city bus that will take me to the travel bus station. It may sound easy but trust me that's definetely not the case. I don't like to complain and i'm grateful for the whole thing because if i had simply taken a taxi i wouldn't be able to tell you the story and quite frankly get to the point of this whole blogpost. I had a huge suitcase a smaller one and my backpack.I'm a strong dude so i really didn't have a problem with them.What got the best of me was the dragging and holding. Anyway While on the metro wagon,a older man came in and stood right next to me. He was well groomed,hair cutted,well dressed and had something that looked like a military insignia on the left side of his coat. In an instant he started talking to me but in reality he was just talking to himself. A monologue that in the beginning i found creepy and strange(i would go as far as to call it crazy because,what's really crazy and second of all people that talk to themselves is a familliar sight) but eventually laughed with it. Besides i didn't hear a thing he said because i was listening to music. The whole thing was an experience. When i sat down to the bus after all the walking,dragging holding bags,changing wagons and vehicles a thought cross my mind. I was ok and positive with the whole experience. I knew that it would be tough and quite frankly pretty tiring but i had pre disposed myself into it and i made it like a gent. If i had done all this with a negative prespective i would probably have gotten into a argument with somebody,or even this old man,i would be angry,my energy would be all messed up and the whole thing would have been something that i would have resented. The reason i'm writing down this boring story in the midst of so many more important things happening around the globe is because i want to emphasize the fact that your perspective and the way you choose to look at things is a major factor as far as your mood,thinking and attitude goes. Be very,very mindful of them in any situation. Happy people,successfull people,winners are what they are because they choose to be that. If something happens to you,or even when you do something,it's how your receive that experience and how you are affected by it. Learn to control the certain things you can control no matter then circumstance. It all boils down to you. Peace&Love M.J.K
