Strive for a Ping-pong Ball Heart

Life can be tough. Remaining upbeat and positive can be a struggle.

Sometimes a practical experiment can help you regain your perspective. Next time you're feeling upset, try this:

Get a pail of water and fill it around 4/5 full.
Find a ping-pong ball. If you are really serious,
go buy some.
Put the ping-pong ball in the water.
Try to sink the ball.

What does this seemingly pointless exercise demonstrate? Well, everybody gets dunked and plunged into the depths, just like the ping-pong ball. And sometimes it will seem like someone just KEEPS trying to push you down.







But if you keep a light, bright, and optimistic attitude, you'll always bounce back to the top, just like the ping-pong ball. Life won't be able to get you down - you'll always come out on top!
