I feel like there are things in life that will cause us to feel a bit like Eeyore, wont they? I have those days, we all do...where we just cannot muster up a smile....being upset is just easier than being happy...and spreading sadness comes easier than spreading cheer. We've all been there! However, it does not make it right. I know people who day, after day, after day stay in this constant "ho humm" "woe is me" state, and I could not imagine the misery they might feel! It is draining being so sad all of the time I would think. Yes, slapping on a smile is not always easy, but, my goodness there is so much bright and happy in this world. While their head is down they are missing so much by not looking up once in a while.
I'm not saying we shouldn't be allowed to feel hurt, or even sad when we need to. I do feel we should be allowed to feel the emotions that our heart feels, but, moving on and going with a cheerful heart is so needed in this world. So many people around us, our families,and friends, they need us to smile once in awhile...they need validation from us, and if we are so busy in our own self-pity how can we ever give them what they need?
I've also found that these "Eeyore's of the world" are so stuck in their own ways, their own misery they find it impossible to change and typically you'll hear them say, "that's just how I am." How much more narrow minded does it get? I just think little Eeyore needs to lift up his sad eyes, walk with a head held high, and feel a little love...give love..and I do believe he might get that love given back to him in multiples! Let's not allow ourselves to remain stuck as Eeyore..find happiness...find something worth smiling about. Grab tightly of that love that IS out there and never let go...
