the turning of the tide

"The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Having a low moment, don't despair, even when your at your lowest, things can start to turn around for the better. Hang in there, you're going to make it. 

We can choose to hold on to the past and the pain in our lives or use our energy to let it go and move forward. What we choose to do right now will make a difference in all our tomorrows.

We may not have the ability to change every circumstances in our lives, but we can change the things that are within our power to change. Sometimes we just need to choose to change ourselves and the way we think.

We can change the way we think, and the things the think about. We can choose to focus on the good and not the bad. After weight loss surgery, I found I had to change my attitude and the way I thought about myself.

I had to change my attitude from victim to victor.

I had to be intentional, choosing to be grateful for the things that I had and let go I what I didn't have.

We can choose to be happy. You can't live a positive life with a negative mind.

Abraham Lincoln said, “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” 

and it was Art Linkletter who said,  “Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.”

I believe the freedom of choice is one of God's greatest gifts. So make the best of of a bad situation by making a choice to choose.Just choose. The tide is turning. Be prepared for something great to happen. 

Yes you can...you have many more miles to go!
