Being in control and Recycling the negatives.

I'm going to attempt to keep this one fairly brief, because I've touched on these before, but I was re-attaching my posters to my Uni bedroom wall, which seem to just decide every once in a while to be like "Ha! Screw you, I'm gonna jump off the wall and land on your head while you're sleeping" and I read a couple of quotes that made we want to write something. In case you haven't already guessed, the quotes came from the one on the left, not catching fire, although "Remember who the enemy is" makes me smile every time, but we'd be here for days if i started chatting about Catching Fire. Although, my love for the film combined with the fact that this blog is somewhat lacking in film posts probably means a catching fire post will happen. Indefinitely. ANYWAY, the two quotes I like the most on the poster are "Don't wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment, make it perfect." and "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain". They're fairly self-explanatory, but both of them emphasise a point that we often seem to disregard as being the truth, which is that, when it comes down to it we are quite heavily in control of our life (putting any thoughts on fate aside for a second). People can often become disheartened by previous life events, or if something in their life doesn't appear to be improving, but on quite a few of these occasions, if people are honest with themselves there is often something that can be done. This something could be a 'moment', a skill, a situation, a feeling etc that, by regaining control, and believing you have the power to take control can be improved on and made 'perfect'. It relates quite well to the second quote, which is why I like them so much together because it's quite understandable and common for people to get stuck in a rut, after being subject to something that appears negative. You get upset, you get angry, you get confused. You become stuck. Being 'stuck' means that it's a little tricky to see everything and you might miss certain things, so if you are 'stuck' then it's best to look for the smaller, less obvious things, because these are often the things that, pardon the oxymoron, can be insignificantly significant. What I mean by that is what at first seems irrelevant to consider or think about may in fact be the key to alleviating the problem and leaving the rut you're in. You look for these things, and allow yourself the ability to get better and that will be your 'dance in the rain'. Recycle the negatives. Take control. Stay in control.
