Perspective

All throughout life we are faced with a choice. A decision that will effect every aspect of every moment we live in. We can either look at life though with a pesimistic mind, or through optomistic eyes. A pesimistic person will look at those they could not help and feel sorrow. They will look at missed chances and feel regret, resenting their past selves. And they will look at the unkown - the questions they cannot possible answer - and feel fear, not knowing what lies beyond. Even when faced with the same obstacles, an optimistic person will always prevail. For they will look not as those they could not help, but to the lives they have affected, and feel content. They will look at missed chances and learn from them, bettering their future. And they will look to the unknown with intrigue, awaiting what lies ahead.
