Tonight I was feeling frustrated with a professor who, for three hours, spoke about nothing. I felt like three hours of my life had been wasted. I kept waiting for him to make a point, and I tried oh so hard to put meaning to his words. Unfortunately, no such meaning was found. I walked out of the class feeling frustrated and annoyed. As the night progressed, I began to ponder about my feelings. Why was I letting such an insignificant event ruin my evening and dictate my mood? Life is too short and there are far greater things to spend my mood swings on than a stupid three hour class. When I put this evening in perspective, I realized this was not something to waste time sulking over. I had to remind myself to count my blessings and focus on what is really important in life.
I guess my point is to not let the little; unimportant things in life get you down. Move on. Focus on the things in life that really matter. Focus on all the blessings the Lord has given you, and you will be able to get through anything!
I am reminded of a favorite movie quote from Finding Nemo. Dory says, "When life gets you down, you know watcha gotta do? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."
Bible verse of the day: Romans 5:3-4
“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.”
