I have been listening to ALOT of music the last few weeks. The babies sleep better with it on.
So everyday I try and put something different on, to keep things fresh and entertaining for me. So the other day I put on a Disney playlist. There is so many good songs and motivational songs in the play list and its clean which is perfect for the kids. There was one song that really stuck with me; The Climb, by Miley Cyrus.
I know I know, she's not the greatest person, but I'm not focusing on that. I want to focus on the songs lyrics.
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah, yeah
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith
Whoa
So the last week has been really hard, I had alot on my plate for work. I didn't think I was handling everything as well as I should have been. I agreed to work with this family till next summer. As a result when I am having a bad day I tend to focus on how much long i have here and whats on the other side. This song is a good reminder that I shouldn't be focusing on "getting out" but on enjoying the time I have here. In the end, my memories will be in the things I learned and what I accomplished. If I spend all my time thinking about how hard things have gotten and wishing I was done, all of those good memories will be tainted. I need to remember to ask myself on the bad days, how can I learn from this, and how can I turn this around and make this better. Now, I realize that not all problems can be fixed this day and that some days are just going to be sh*tty, but that's what chocolate is for.
Do you have any tricks for staying positive through hard times??
