I just popped over to Facebook and found brand new posts by different friends. These are real-life friends who are also entrepreneurs and have attended many of the same events that I have attended (about business and mindset).
"Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties."
- Helen Keller
"Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have."
"You are the artist of your life."
"Today began with feelings of gratitude in my heart. I have such blessings in my lfie. Magic will unfold today."
Geez. What's wrong with me? When I read these, I just want to make rude comments. But I stop myself.
Even Helen Keller was positive, and she had so much against her.
Please don't tell me to stop going to Facebook. I stayed away for a week recently and it made me even more depressed. I felt out of touch with people. I'm already a hermit, and when Facebook came along I started having a social life for the first time in more than a decade because little clusters of people that I knew started getting together in real life pretty often and staying in touch between visits via Facebook.
If I didn't have Facebook, I would be TOTALLY cut off from society. Seriously. I would sit here in this messy, empty house. My phone never rings unless it's my mother but she's off with her man doing stuff. I rarely go out with people. I don't have a best friend. I don't have anyone to call at a moment's notice to go have coffee, dinner, see a movie, or just hang out.
Sorry. I'm just feeling sorry for myself today.
