Getting one's hopes up!

Today was one of those days where you get your hopes up only to get these crushed.  Needless to say, this always seems to happen from time to time.

So the question is, why do we do it to ourselves? The easy answer is that it is in our nature. A life without hope would be horrible and meaningless, after all who doesn't like to have stuff to look forward to. When we get our hopes up we set goals and achievements and we have something to look forward to which keeps us going when things are tough. The backside to this is when these hopes get crushed, how does one more on from that? That's the current dilemma I am going through at the moment.

I've spent the last month looking forward to this particular day and waiting for some specific good news. Unfortunately this did not go as planned and now I am trying to put a positive spin on this situation. I always say that everything happens for a reason although in some circumstances this motto just doesn't seem to be enough.

I guess I have to remain positive and be happy for all the good things I have in my life at this very moment. I am a true believer that when you live life with a happy outlook all should fall in place. So here's hoping!!
