Positive thoughts lead to positive results.

I don’t know who actually said this quote first but I know that I find it really important now

more than ever because that’s what I’ve been focusing on. I have been trying every day to be as

positive about my situation as I can be though some days that seems nearly impossible. I want

to be happy and I want to push through the difficulties I am facing and rather than see them as

obstacles, see them as opportunities for development.

I hope that once I am healed from the recent pain I have experienced I will get back up

stronger than ever and continue with my life without hesitation. It may be tough to do that but if I

can I will do my best not to look back but rather stay focused on the future that lays ahead

because I know that if I stay strong and positive and continue working every day, I will

eventually find that life is generally better.

Every day is a new day and if I approach each one with the idea that toda will be a good

day, I think that a set of mind like that will make that a reality. I want to live a positive and truly

happy life, as much as I possibly can because I believe that success is not measured by how

much money you have or how many people love you. It is not measured by how much power

you have or how many objects you own and it is certainly not measured by the job you had or

the reputation that clings to your name.

Success, to me, is measured by how many times you smiled, how many people smiled

because of you, and happiness. That is how I measure success and though I will not always be

successful by my own definition, I hope that some day I can look back and see that overall I led
a successful life in which I smiled, laughed, learned, and loved as well as sharing these things

with the world.
