Perspective.

     While the Giants still have a losing record, they’re on a two-game win streak! Not bad considering they started off the season losing six straight. They may not win the Super Bowl this year or even make the playoffs, but they won a few games and they won’t finish the season winless. Memories are still strong for me of the last Super Bowl they won that was just the year before last. So, I won’t let this rough stretch define quarterback, Eli Manning’s, legacy.
I think life is all about perspective; the glass is always half full and God has a re-fill on the way! 

    “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4: 16-18)

     I am able to keep such a positive outlook because I know God’s power and what He’s brought me through. Minor issues at work or dealing with tough co-workers is nothing in comparison to fighting back from a traumatic brain injury while at times being completely alone. Perspective, it keeps me going. I encourage you to stay positive. If you find yourself leaning toward the pessimistic side of things a majority of the time, I suggest you pray about it.
