Positive: Attitude is key. So many times many people make a mountain out of an ant hill. Never giving themselves the opportunity to see past any situation. Positive thinking allows for solutions to be processed and makes any mountain look like a fun hike.
Manny Pacquiao is one of the biggest names in the boxing world today. His story is one of poverty and let down. But if you look at where he is at today you would never think that. What Manny was able to do is take the situations presented to him at any given time and present a positive outcome in return. Manny’s parents separated when he was just in sixth grade, and by the age of 14 he was forced out of the house due to the resources that his mother was unable to supply to the household being a single parent. Manny had enough happen to him in such a short span that he could have used it as excuses for why things were not going right. Instead, He began boxing more and more each day and found himself on the Phillipene national ammatur team. Just when things seem to be going right, Manny’s close friend, who was an aspiring young boxer also, died. Pacquiao used this as fuel to push him into the professional boxing world. Every time that he lost his work ethic got more intense and focus became better. Had he never possessed the ability to maintain a positive attitude regardless of his situation, Manny Pacquiao would not be where he is at today.
It is not what happens to us that makes the day, but rather what we do with what happens to us that will make it. Everyday adds up, and at the end of 365 days our year is a whole lot of little happenings that add up to where we are at that time. The question is what road are you on? The negative, or the positive road.
Own yourself! Run your life!
