The positive assumption...

One of the things I had to relearn was how I thought. My life was riddled with insecurities and down right fear, being left alone with only my brain to think compounded the matter. I was able to make mountains out of molehills when in reality there wasn't even dirt to begin with. I had to break the routine of self-doubt and the feeling of inferiority from within. I had to change my attitude.

One technique I used I nicknamed the "PA", the positive assumption. I wasn't able to defy my mind from wandering, so instead I guided it. Instead of making an assumption that worked against me or made me feel badly about myself, I would make an assumption that worked for me and made me smile. If a girl didn't call me back, it wasn't because I wasn't good enough... maybe she liked me so much she was too nervous to call. Instead of a friend being late because of traffic, maybe they were late because they met a beautiful foreign girl or they bought a lottery ticket and won a million dollars. I couldn't stop myself from speculating but I could stop myself from being insecure.

We all are going to have good days and bad days. We all go through ups and downs. My intention in life isn't to fight off the bad days, just to limit or shorten them. Life is a wave, surf it...
