Such an Inspiration

I found out that a previous coworker of mine in his early 20's is battling cancer. He is such an inspiration. He is so positive in everything and thankful to God for letting him know he is not alone as he goes through this. He also believes everything happens for a reason.

I am so inspired by him and how positive he is. I wish I was more positive but I am not sure how to be at this point. My first thought when finding out what he is going through, is that it seems so cruel of God to put such a young person through that, that still has their whole life ahead of them. I find myself getting angry about all the cruel things in the world. I know I need to try to be more positive about it all. I need to be to a point where I can look at all my troubles in a different light and come to accept them as a trial, not cruelty on God's part.

I still have a lot of anger I am working through. I want to get past it so it doesn't control my whole life. My coworker gives me inspiration that it is possible to be handed something horrible and come to accept it and use it to strengthen yourself. Someday I hope to be in that position where I can be more positive. I think I still have some anger issues to work through, but I have hope this anger wont last forever. Someday I will be in the acceptance stage and be able to embrace my trials and find the good in it all.
