far easier to be negative than optimistic, and I’ve had to work on this myself. It takes real effort to have a positive mindset. Honestly, my wife helps me a lot in this department, and she’s even taken courses on the subject. Failure used to be one of my biggest motivators, but I’ve learned over time that having an abundance mindset can get you even further. I believe that when you put positive energy into the world, you attract it back to yourself. Bad things happen in life, and many are out of our control, but we can choose to gain something from them. When I feel the weight of challenges, I like to take a few deep breaths, reflect on the positives, and try to go to my happy place — often a pleasant memory of time spent with my dad, grandfather, or someone else dear to me. I try to think of the good times to gain a better perspective. I try to see the big picture. Though it can feel all-encompassing in the moment, negativity doesn’t have to be permanent. When the difficult times come, I ask myself what I am supposed to learn from this. What am I gaining from this experience, and how do I transform it into a good one?
Ultimately, none of us are meant to live life alone. We’re made for teamwork and meant to help each other. I’m just thankful for the people on my team who remind me of that and help me see the good, even when it can be hard to spot.
