The Author's Corner: Numbers

To see our lives and what we have achieved is sometimes easier said than done. We count the number of times when we were on the brink of failure before pulling it off. It is always the time when we are close to giving up when we see the end point clearly. This is what gives us the will to take the next steps in life. The one thing about these situations that we find ourselves in is that do we see it through a positive or negative light.

Depending on your view of the event will always make the difference if you make it through it. When you look at the positive in the bad situation, which is hard to do, you will see it as a moment that is shaping you into a better person. The lesson learned maybe hard to accept, however with a positive overview you will see the good that comes from it.

When we have a negative view, only the bad things are seen. There is a doomed feeling that sweeps over us and it brings us down. In this we could end up having a mental breakdown. This is the truth of negative thinking and on the personal side no one wants to be around negative people unless that is the type of person that they are as well.

Over the years we grow and learn from everything that we experience in our lives. In some cases, the lessons are about who you can trust and others are how willing you are to trust yourself to stick to a decision that most would not do. All of these events shape us into who we are to become.

They say what you think about is what you will get. Thinking positively is hard to do if all you know is negative thinking, I know this from my own experience in life because I use to see things through the negative way of thinking and I would play the victim at times. It would take a trip to the hospital in February of 2010 to make me face what could happen to me if I did not change my way of thinking and it took months to make it happen.

In life there are only two real paths in life. One being positive and the other being negative. The path you choose can be changed if you want to because it only takes changing the way you think.

Stay safe.
