The Mission

It took a long time for me to stop being stubborn. I just didn’t want to accept the fact that my negative thinking was holding me back. Time after time, I would fill my head with negative thoughts while anticipating the worst in every situation. I literally drove myself crazy with thinking all my negative thoughts would eventually lead to the end of the world. I was trapped in my own head, torturing myself. 

Then one day things just flipped. I anticipated the worse case scenario with a job that I really needed: “there’s no way they’re gonna hire me, I might as well not even go to the interview.” was what I told myself. But I was wrong this time.  I was totally qualified for the position and I got it! I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that I was wrong about my negative thoughts. I even had the nerve to leave the interview angered by the good news. Angered by good news? Yes. 

Six years later, I am at the same job, but I no longer think about life the way I used to. I realized that I didn’t have to settle for thinking that I have bad luck or that every situation must end negatively. What changed? Did my luck change or did I change my thinking? Well, luck can come and go but I found that a positive mindset is way better than luck. So, I choose to be positive and feed my mind what it needs to help myself through the negative aspects of life, instead of just anticipating the worst.  Hopefully, I can convince the world to do the same.
