be a tigger not an eeyore

A couple of weeks ago a lecture I watched that was posted on Youtube made me think about what kind of person I am. The guy said that we are either Tiggers or Eeyores, and that the Tiggers are the ones who are willing to do whatever possible to make things happen. I realized that at this current moment in my life I’m an Eeyore. I say I want to do things, but I find the motivation to do them, or I’m letting things get in the way like money issues, or I’m just too scared.

I don’t want to be an Eeyore anymore. I hate being like this. This isn’t me. I don’t want to be one of those people who say “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda” I want to be one of those people who say “I did”.

So from here on out there will be no more Eeyore. I will not let myself be such a person any longer.

I want to be more optimistic. Inside I often feel like an Eeyore with a Tigger just bursting to get out. I want to strive to be a Tigger with Eeyore tendencies instead of the other way around. I want to inspire my students to be Tiggers too.

My life is short. I can choose my attitude. I can make the most of my finite time I have here.
