People
ask me all the time why I feel the need to turn every situation into a positive
experience or life lesson. There are so many answers to this question. Some
people even get mad at me when I put a positive spin on everything going on in
my life.
My
number one answer to this question is: My kids.
I
want my kids to grow up thinking that they can do anything and can accomplish anything
they put their mind to. Everything worth accomplishing takes a lot of hard work
and sometimes takes making decisions that are not always fun to make. When my
son or daughter has a friend over who has such low self-esteem and feels like a
failure, it breaks my heart. It makes me wonder where it is coming from and why
at such a young age they are shaping their life and future
for failure.
I
guess the reason for my insight is purely to remind people to tell their kids
how amazing they are and to encourage them in sports, arts, music… whatever it
is that they have a passion for. Encourage them to have fun and to do the best they
can possibly do. Our children’s minds have not been polluted by all the
negatives in our world. Shape their minds to not only be positive, but live a
positive life.
