Making Mountains Out of Molehills
This week was incredibly stressful
for me, I had a major test that I studied a ridiculous amount of hours for, however
when I saw the results I was so upset and I felt like I was hit by a bus.
Naturally I let it get the best of me, internalized my performance, thought
that I stupid, and was sad for about a day or so. However yesterday I discovered
a good friend of mine is sick and may require surgery and a friend of mine just
lost a loved one that was a major part of his life. Being struck by these
situations make me realize that my “problem” was nothing compared to other
individuals in my life. Although doing well is important to me, I was making
mountains out of molehills.
Today when I woke up I felt
immediate gratification for what I do have. I am so thankful for all of the
blessings in my life including: a wonderful and loving family, my fur child, a
loving boyfriend who literally would do anything
for me, and the opportunity to live my dream and to become a nurse.
Although the week has been tough I really am blessed and so THANKFUL for all of
the blessings that I do have in my life.
This little girl always makes me smile! <3
Have you ever made mountains out of
molehills? If so what was the situation about?
I love that you're keeping things in perspective! But at the same time, I would recommend that you don't sweep your feelings under a rug! I feel like when I do that my feelings just build and build until I have a serious freak out. Acknowledge those feelings, you're justified to have them, and then - like you're doing anyways - have gratitude for the blessings you do have.
I completely agree, I have my little time to vent it out and shed a couple tears but then I look at the situation and realize in retrospect it is not as bad as I made it out to be! :D
