She always used to say sorry. She is not sure why or what she was apologizing for. She was apologizing because she always felt not quite good enough, not up to the same speed as her friends and family. She was apologizing for her inadequacies, apologizing because it is easier to live in a world where things go wrong rather than where things go right.
And then, one day, her friends told her to switch it around. They told her that she should say thank you to everyone for being in her life, thank the world for the opportunities that are presented to her every day, the friendships she forges, and the people she is lucky enough to get to know. She thanks the universe every day for giving her the chance to be alive within it and spread positivity, and then it will come back to her. So now, she tries to spread positive light everywhere she goes, and then it comes right back to her, always.
Things don’t always go right every day, far from it actually, but she can laugh about that and not worry so much. No one quite knows how to respond when approached with a sorry, but when approached with a thank you or gratitude, it makes the recipient feel great, and she, by default, feels great too.
She always used to think that the best way for people to like her was to appear meek, mild, and helpless. But that does no one any favours, certainly not her, and certainly doesn’t make people like her; she appears like a bumbling, gormless idiot, clueless of the ways of the world, and no one responds well to that.
She always used to think that she was in the ‘wrong place at the wrong time,’ but she has shifted that too to being in the ‘right place at the right time.’ She no longer has preconceptions of how her life is going to pan out or dreams of where she wants to be and when. She just believes everything is working out just as it should and is always grateful for that.
