Think happy thoughts. :)

Every once in a while you have a string of bad luck. Depending on who you speak with some would say that I brought the bad luck by thinking negative thoughts, others would say these things just happen.
I could make myself upset and worry about the bad luck I’ve been having lately and worry about the outcome, but I refuse to. I know I brought most of the bad luck upon myself, but not by choice. I could say I’m a victim of my reality, but reality is what I make of it.
I choose to be positive in light of the situation. I am carving my future and know I’ll have an accident or two along the way. My path is clearer now than it has been for many years and I know that success is not a dream but a reality. Yeah, I’ll have bad things happen, and yeah things won’t go as planned, but I will continue to push forward and I know my day will come.
As a motivation, I sing a verse in a song that says “I get knocked down, but I get up again. You ain’t never going to keep me down”.
So as negative things happen, I choose to ignore them and think the happy thoughts of my success and my final destination for my family.
Failure is necessary. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
Very true. No words could be truer than those of Thomas Edison when he said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”. Success is the by product of failure. All successful people in history realize this. Even Napoleon Hill back in the early 1900s knew this. To succeed you have to fail and fail often.
