Sometimes you have to consciously make the decision to move past negative times in your life. Negative times, negative people, negative things will happen in your life. You have to choose whether or not you are going to accept them. For awhile I've been choosing to let negative things over come me. I was on a path that was perfectly aligned with the original plan that I had for my future. I wanted so badly to meet my goals that when I had to face defeat, rejection and disappointment in the eye, I cowered from them. It's so easy to be positive when things are going your way but the true test of an optimist is how positive they are during times of hardship.
It took awhile for me to realize that being positive is a 24/7 kind of job. It's not for the weak, it's not for those who give up easily, and it is really not for those who aren't strong minded. Being positive is nit the easy way out. What's easy is being able to fall into negativity and let it fester and overcome you. Too often we allow ourselves to be the company that misery plans to keep. You better watch who you spend time with.
I've chosen to be positive and to keep my eyes on what it is that I want from my life. What do you choose?
