Focus on the Good

August 27, 2019 · In: Motivation

I believe there is more good in the world than bad—news channels just tend to focus on the bad. Although my car accident was bad, so much good was shown to me through my family, friends, and even people I didn’t know. People who showed up, wrote to me, took care of my family, and much more. I couldn’t help but focus on more than just the tragedy that had happened to me. It is easy to find and focus on the bad stuff in your life, the world, or even other peoples lives, but we always have a choice. When we choose to focus on the bad, we often miss the good, and it leaves us discouraged, frustrated, sad, and feeling as though things are unfair. Simply changing our perspective can leave us feeling the exact opposite. You are here for a purpose and there is hope for you. It doesn’t matter what happened or didn’t happen yesterday. Today is a new day. Focus on the good in life, the good in people, and the good in the very moment you are in

Hi, I'm Janey!

Hi, I'm Janey!
hello!

In July 2017 I was on my way to the first volleyball practice of my senior year when I had a car accident that left me paralyzed from the neck down. The neurosurgeon was not sure what to expect after that day, but here I am, working hard and getting better every day! This is where I encourage others to live make the most of their lives, no matter what happens!!! You can’t control what happens to you, but you can control how you react! I share about life with a spinal cord injury and tips that make living with a spinal cord injury a little easier. And I make watercolor greeting cards!
