As long as I can remember, I’ve been rather negative when it comes to life outlook. My philosophy has always been “If you set the bar low, you’ll never be disappointed and you’ll never disappoint.” I’m now mature enough to realize that by looking at life this way, I’ve severely limited myself. By looking on the bright side, I will take more risks. If I take more risks, I will have greater rewards. If I don’t gain the rewards, I will fail, but our failures help shape us as much as our successes, so onward I go.
