Up or Down?

Sometimes up or down is a choice.  It all depends on what you do with what's in front of you.  It's like a half full or half empty situation.  You can look at things with a positive attitude and take charge of certain situations, or you can be down in the dumps and have no control - just waiver back and forth like a branch blowing in the breeze.  I have to admit that sometimes it's easier to just be like the branch, but then you also have to live with the consequences (which in most cases never turn out so good).  Even though taking a stand and fighting for what you want is hard - you end up being the winner.  The one who can hold your head up and know that you took the upper road and did the right thing.  Fight for yourself and for the things you want and then be proud of yourself for all you do!!
