Life can be good or bad just depends on how you look at it and what perspective you are viewing it from. We all have are rose colored glasses on viewing life from our own viewpoints.

Life being a teenager is fun, most of the time. One minute you want to run the world, and then the next minute you want to run from it. Trust me life will get better. Life is not only what you put into it but how you look at it. If you are about to graduate remember that some are not able to graduate. If you have two legs and two arms you can always do physical labor. Life can be fun when some can only see sadness.

The person with a bad job feels good when he meets his friend who cannot get a job. The person, who has to work so hard that their feed hurt, feels good when they meet the person with no feet. It has been said you can look at glass half full or half empty. Sometimes it is hard to see that for comparing ourselves with others. Don’t think too much about your life and how bad it is because it is much better than you think. The best way to get depressed is to think on yourself for 2 minutes.

Setup rules in your life that you will live by no matter what. These are called principles. You will make mistakes along the way but work on your principles. No matter how many times you tell people you are a tree you are not going to be a tree.

Living for God is not a Sunday Morning Worship Service or a Sunday Evening Shouting Service. Living for God is a decision. King David in the bible made many mistakes but was called the man after God’s heart. When he realized his mistakes he was still punished but still built an altar and cried and prayed before God.

When David was young he was anointed to be King yet he was not in the position to be King. He did not want to be the one to kill the king even though he had opportunities to do so. He said he would not put a hand to God’s anointed. Even though that was his anointed position to be in by God. When he killed the lion and bear he may have not been King but he was anointed to be King. He as a shepherd he may not have felt anointed but he was still anointed.

A married couple can feel like they are not married but they are still married. As a Christian you can have a bad day and not feel like a Christian but you are still a Christian. The idea is I can give you lots of reasons to feel good but if you decide to think bad about yourself you will succeed in being depressed.
