My Personal Credo
When I think about my unique approach to life, it is not
super unique at all, actually I hope it is not because I would want others to
tackle life in the same way. I approach life with an abundant amount of a positive
attitude. I surely do believe that it is important to continue seeing any
situation with an optimistic point of view, good or especially bad. I think
that if an attitude is set negatively during a bad situation, well my friend,
then most likely there will be continued negative slaps to the face. There is a
famous quote by author Charles Swindoll, “Life is 10% of what happens to you,
and 90% of how you react to it.” That 10% could be a gut wrenching dilemma, but
do not complicate it more than it already is, a bad attitude won’t serve you to
refine the situation.
I learned to be positive at a young age when half of my
family was torn apart by Immigration. I was so angry…so angry, and sad. No nine
year-old kid should feel damaged at a young age, but there I was missing my dad
and older siblings. Not understanding why bad things happen to good people. My positive
mother, told me something that I would never forget around these hard times. “Be
thankful for the good and the bad, because they make you into the person you
are today.” Of course I still didn’t quite understand that wisdom at that age.
I wondered, why the heck should I be
thankful for something bad? But little did I know then, I am grateful for
the good and the bad still to this
day.
Tackle life with
positivity people, it is nonsense to do it another other way.
