I would never force myself to do things that I am not comfortable doing although sometimes we find ourselves doing things that would require us to exert a little effort. Sometimes it is because we have no choice but to do it, sometimes it is simply because we have to be nice to people-- at least be one to those you find nice and worthy of every effort.

Sometimes we have to find the silver lining on things, to save us from frustrations and/or disappointments. It is never easy to be optimistic. It is never easy to enjoy things that we hate doing or being in a situation that will make you really uncomfortable like taking a ride on a bus that smells like Baygon yet you find baby roaches crawling, or the seats are too small that if you're seated at the edge you'd fall when the driver suddenly swerves. How do you see the silver lining in that? You know, those things or people that would push you to curse or swear? It's never easy to see the good in that.

But I know one thing...

I could live a short life, or I could travel from one place to another someday (soon) or stay put. But wherever I am. Here. There. Anywhere. I know there won't be any huge change in how I'd see (my) life. I would see every silver lining in my journey-- even in times that my spirit is low.

I may not perfect being optimistic in life but I will always try. I will choose to do things rather than not doing things. I will choose to enjoy the company of my friends rather than locking myself inside my room.  I will choose to walk an extra mile simply because it could be my last. And when it is, I'd rather have a grateful heart.

Let me not forget to be grateful in each passing day.
