My friends and I have been talking about positive thinking recently. Honestly, I am not a very positive person. Just the opposite, in fact, I am quite the pessimist. But recently I have realized that I need to change that. Being a pessimist stresses me out. I have a million things in this world that I need to be thankful for and a million other ways I can make this world a brighter place. So my resolution is to stop being so negative. Stop letting things get to me and start making changes where I can. Those things that I cannot change should not mess with me because it is outside of my circle of influence. So every day, keep Jane Goodall and Boy Meets world in mind.
