The Wrong Attitude.

My goal this week was to be more positive and friendly. I think I’m doing okay on the friendly part, not so much the positive part. I’m still super angry about Sam Pepper and then his par 3/3 part today which was super annoying so I made a video about it, which you can click on here. I’m also very anxious and there’s just a lot going on my head and I think it’s preventing me from being positive.

There’s a lot going around me and it’s bringing me down, however I’m not in a position where I can just cut this all out of my life. I want to be more positive, yet when I have panic attacks in the middle of the night, how can I be? It’s frustrating and annoying to me. I have the wrong attitude.

I need to strive to be more positive, no matter what the situation is because I need to learn that I can’t control the world and people around me. I have to take care of myself and make myself happy. I need to strive to surround myself with a positive vibe and spread that rather than negativity. I need to force myself to find the happiness in things because life doesn’t actually suck.

If I would change my attitude and be more positive I hope that that can change someone else’s attitude too. I want to challenge myself to be more of a positive influence on the lives around me, as well as on myself. I also want to challenge myself to be a better blogger because right now, pardon my language, but this blog is a piece of shit and that needs to change. Working on it, promise.

Leave me your favorite quotes for positivity in the comments and feel free to check out my video response/reaction to Sam Pepper after the new developments today. Don’t forget to smile!

When I am trying to work through obstacles, I’ve found that this Neil Gaiman quote does the trick. Maybe it’s not the most inspirational or positive, but it does give me hope that whatever I’m going through can get better.
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ~Neil Gaiman
And I do enjoy this one, too.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mary,

You mention a lot of great, positive goals (other than saying your blog is shit, most of this blog is positive).. I know it can be hard staying positive when having a panic attack or feeling anxious, but these are the times that we have to find a way to be strong. If you get anxious at night, maybe you should call someone that wouldn’t mind, write down your feelings, take deep breaths, watch TV, read, or find some other positive way to occupy your mind.

You’ve helped me so much and I’m sure you’ve helped others. The goal that you have to be more positive and help others is so amazing and I have faith in you that you can do both! You are right, we cannot control the world and have to learn how to deal with difficult situations. What we can do, however, is be around positive people and when you are not, remember that just because others are negative does not mean you have to be. Stay strong and keep going! I believe in you!
