I generally use the resources around me, to enhance my morale. For instance, I often listen to Jason Mraz's music or read his blog as I find him very inspiring. I watch films which allow me to think and get a better understanding of certain situations.
I don't always look for positive resources to get a more positive outlook, sometimes I look at more negative things and reflect on them.
Sometimes, I have no power in it. On Friday I had to get the train to get back home. Like most Fridays, I found my self arriving just as the train was about to set off. (normally leaving me with a 15 minute wait for the next train). I took a slow walk down the stairs as there was no point rushing, from experience I knew I wouldn't make it, and I wasn't prepared to run, just to be a second. Late. I slowly walked down and the train was still there, doors open. Confused I walked to the side thinking as soon as I walk towards it the door will shut. Confused I looked at the driver and he looked straight at me asking me if I was getting on. With a nod and friendly wave to say thanks, I quickly hopped on the train.
I know it's small, but sometimes it's the little things which remind you that there are nice people out there. My initial thought was 'oh great, yet again, I've just missed the train. Oh well, guess I'll just wait 15 minutes'. I felt bad I ended up holding the train a few seconds, but I'd never have thought it'd wait for me.
I'm still in debate whether I'm human or not though...
Wow, that is pretty unusual, and kind.
I guess it's possible most people wonder if they are human from time to time.
