Seriously, can I talk you into putting on your rose colored glasses (figuratively, of course😉) for a different type of journey? How about a journey that focuses on all the GOOD in our lives? We all are looking for tools and self-help to be the best version of ourselves. The problem seems to be that we make things difficult. We focus on the challenges and that makes it even more difficult. What if we focus and see the best things in our lives??

Rose colored glasses have always been the best tool for me to live a positive life, while helping me to see the world’s beauty. I honestly have been poked at for seeing things through rose colored glasses. Now, I realize if more people could see life this way it would be a better world! I know it sounds crazy.. but tune in to hear why I believe and have seen this to be true!

As this day unfolds (knowing it is Thursday.. my day to write) I have had a bit of anxiety about what to write about. I want to bring a bit more depth and grit to this chaotic world! 🌍

I asked my husband, my favorite person to bounce ideas off of, what he thought I should write about. He thought to write about getting through some of the heavy things happening in the world is right up my alley. The initial thing that came to me was “every day is not perfect, although there is perfection in every day.” This rings so true when going through hard times! We must focus on the good. This truly is a good practice no matter whether life is running smoothly or we are in a rough waters. It helps us to appreciate and live life to the fullest!

I started writing between clients today. When my husband, Johnny came in the back room I told him I was leaning towards making the title of this entry- Rose colored glasses. His response was, “sounds like Amber.”💗 I agree! I want to help others when they are struggling. I feel like remembering to figuratively put on our rose colored glasses while giving ourselves and the world a pep talk.. is needed more than anything right now!

Seeing the best in hard situations and finding beauty in a sometimes dark world is the best way to feel good about life. We must find a way to muscle through hard situations.

I grew up with lots of hard things. Let’s just say, things that were out of my control took place often. I realized very early on that if I wanted to live a happy life I needed to focus on the good. I think it truly has morphed me into an overly positive and optimistic person! Yes, things that are traumatic hurt and we want relief. I think relief can be found in our mind frame. A mindset that the best is yet to come and that we can get through hard things.

I feel fortunate that my lines crossed with my husband’s. We started dating while in high school and married when we were teenagers. We both came from hard working backgrounds and our home life’s had some challenges. Shoot, we’ve had challenges most every step of the way. We work hard and continuously focus on creating a life of joy! I want to help others to feel the same. Honestly, as an adult I believe there are very few situations that are completely rosy. Although, if we focus on the good we can feel better! Any good we can find in our day brings beauty into our world. Sharing the beauty manifest into a beautiful creation! Beauty and joy can be found even in normal and mundane things.

I am not saying turn a blind eye to hard topics. I am simply encouraging happiness!.. And that must be created.🎭

We have to put our best foot forward and focus on positivity. Negative things sell fast.. we don’t want to sell out to all kinds of precautions and red tape and forget to put LOVE into the world! Like Lady Gaga says, “Kindness is free!!” In some of the darkest moments I have imagined what I wanted in life and kept working towards it. I truly believe we must set out to see good and create good. We have to create the life we want and consume less of the things that weigh us down.

I hope I have approached this topic in a light-hearted way that can help all of us to approach what life has to offer. It is after the storm that we see the rainbow. Sometimes it is way after the storm with the assistance of professionals. 🤪 Nonetheless, if we keep our value system lined up and be the people we want and need in this world, we will create a world that feels good to be in! We must do it for ourselves and our loved ones .. men, women, children.. alike!!

How do we do this? We must put on our rose colores glasses and create a movement. What does creating a movement look like?

In this case.. I hope it looks like loving ourselves, loving our neighbors, doing what we know is right.. even when it’s out of our comfort zone! It is finding the rosy hue and putting it into the world ..So if you are ready to create the rose colored glasses movement with me> Amber~ the small town KS girl with a BIG heart and a dream bigger than herself. Share this entry. I would love to hear more positive input and ideas. We have to start somewhere. Sharing and caring and loving and pressing forward, even in difficult times is a start of something good. We never know what we are capable of, unless we try!

Halfway to anywhere we put our mind to!
