I am sorry to hear about these health issues and will keep you in my prayers. Your words are full of truth and I'm glad you shared them-- life is full of pain, tragedy and strife, and it is easy to become overwhelmed, depressed and to let fear take you over. Our biggest struggle is often not with our health, finances, or romances, it's with the negativity and fear that make us question ourselves and lose love for ourselves. <br /><br />It's easy to feel that life is unfair, we can't change things, we have no control over our lives, but quite the opposite is true... we have tremendous power to channel our energy into light, love, hope, gratitude, and to generally be positive about the future, rather than deciding that this or that will go wrong and there's no use in trying.<br /><br />The only thing I disagree with you about is that "Nobody's perfect." I actually wrote a song that tackles that exact sentiment...<br /><br />Just the Way We Are<br /><br />I was always told “nobody’s perfect,”<br />“we all have our flaws,” “we’re only human”<br />Only human<br /><br />I was always told “don’t take to strangers,”<br />“look out for dangers,” “don’t wear you’re heart on your sleeve”<br />We must try just to get by<br /><br />And I was told “if you can see the glass half full,<br />What a wonderful world it would be”<br />But I was also that that “this world is cold,”<br />“Nothing is fair, nothing in this world is fair”<br /><br />So I made my way through life, and I found lots of pain and lots of strife<br />Always worryin about my flaws<br />And I’m only human<br /><br />But I wondered to myself “What’s the good and what’s the use<br />Of always believing that nobody’s perfect and wishin’ I was someone else<br />What’s the use?”<br /><br />But I sure have learned a lot<br />Like not to worry about the things I’m not<br />And I have found beyond a doubt that everybody’s perfect<br />Just the way we areCorrina Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760862125773591286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383597951409274969.post-58108506952354799332011-08-19T12:32:35.806-07:002011-08-19T12:32:35.806-07:00Can I get an "Amen!"?!Can I get an "Amen!"?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
