Emotional Wellness

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

-John Homer Miller

For this week’s blog entry, I was planning on writing about emotional wellness, but this quote seems like something that I can write about that also relates with emotional wellness. According to globalserve.net, emotional wellness is demonstrated by the overall comfort with and acceptance of one’s full range of feelings. Positive emotions such as happiness, amusement, excitement, contentment and love contribute to our overall sense of well-being. It is striving to meet emotional needs constructively. It is maintaining good mental health, a positive attitude, high self-esteem, and a strong self-image.
I want to talk about how this quote may not be that long, but it means a lot. It basically says that the way you look at life is the way you’re going to live it. The things that will happen in your life in the future are based on to how you handle your life in the present.

I liked this quote because it clearly states that having a positive outlook towards life and to whatever might happen in the future will surely help a person out when it comes to his/her emotional status.
