Trey Pound Looks at Life

A friend once asked me about my luck. I kid about having bad luck, but the truth is, I’m one fortunate sum’bitch. I’ve never had any life-threatening illnesses that couldn’t be managed; I’ve managed to avoid major jail-time/sentences; I have a large network of friends and family that love me for me. All in all, life is pretty freaking good. And I think that’s in no small part due to the way I look at life. I’ve always believed that we get back what we put out into the universe. Not in a “karma” kinda way, this is a little different. Whatever Higher Power you believe in—God, Vishnu, She-ra—wants you to be happy. As such, your Higher Power stands ready to give you what you desire. So if you go into the world expecting to find misery and sorrow at every turn, guess what you’re going to encounter. However, if you approach life with an attitude of gratitude and consider yourself blessed and highly favored, then the blessings you expect will come your way. I’m not getting all hippy-dippy or Bible-thumpy here, I’m just stating my opinion. If you expect to go out and find misery, you’ll find it; if you go out expecting to find joy and happiness, you’ll find that, too. So be careful what you go looking for, because you might just get it.
