Keeping A Positive Front.

Front: An appearance or form of behavior assumed by a person to conceal their genuine feelings.

      Every year I always have the same goal of being a more positive person and it works sometimes but there's always someone or something that just ticks off every nerve in my body. However, ever since I started Senior year I have been such a positive person. Like I am not going to school in a pissy mood, I am helping out and spreading good energy (and allat).

     What has changed between this school year and last year? The people I hang out around and the fact that I can see my dreams and goals more realistically now. I think that my junior year of high school I was hanging out with people who were okay with being in a negative mood all day and not thinking about their future. However, now I just surround myself with people who are like myself who are positive, contribute something of value to our friendship, are academically ahead, and have life and career goals that they want to reach. I have so many friends this year who just want me to succeed and vice versa and that is such a lovely thing to have in your life. Friends who want friends to succeed is a move all 2019, 2020, and for all years to come. I am one of those people who when I have free time I daydream about my future and in my future, I see myself as a successful black woman working as a financial advisor. So, what did I do in the present day to help make my goal become true? I applied to University's that excelled in their business programs (and got in!!) in cities that are top financial hubs in America that have high graduate job placement rates. If I am able to attend my dream college I will be able to attend and network in one of the nation's biggest financial hubs, which would make my goal of becoming a successful woman easier to obtain.

     So, you see, when you want positive things to happen you cannot have a negative mindset. I believe strongly in the saying "you reap what you sow" and I take it to mean that whatever you put into the world is what you will get back. If you are constantly being a negative nancy do not expect graces from the heavens to fall upon you. Change your attitude, your energy, your mindset and then you will see positive things start to happen to you.

So, keep in mind, "A negative mind will never give you a positive life."
