Too too often, we forget purpose. Filling our calendars with placebos to numb the mundaneness of work, school, or whatever the case may be and we prevent ourselves from excelling in society. If I told you that we can live daily with purpose, would you believe me and in doing so strive to be the best you? Let us no longer blindly stumble through our today. Come! Take my hand! Let us journey through my thoughts. In doing so, it is my goal to give you a different perspective allowing you to live life to its fullest by overcoming negativity.

Existence in and of itself paints the picture of a schoolroom cafeteria following a food fight. With each stroke both beauty and the beast arise to the surface. Picture this! Your life is the canvas. Your victories are the food fight. Your tribulations, or the things that trouble you, become the mess created. Such a fight can be enjoyable unless you are the school's janitor, right? Now, let us shift gears. Think outside of the box if you are not already. For example, the aftermath now becomes a new brush stroke added to your canvas of life painting a more beautiful you. Lesson to be learnt is this. Throughout life, I have noted a common theme of mountaintop extravaganzas followed by troublesome valleys. Both sides of the spectrum are essential to life. We cannot entertain ourselves with food fights and not suspect messes to follow. It is how we survey the shambles of life that define us being optimistic as opposed to pessimistic. My desire is to commence optimistic thinking through my writings. Moving forward, we find ourselves wanting to vacate atop the mountain while opting out of the valley. Yes, it is okay to experience such contradiction. I promise you that you are normal. Get this! Mountaintops are a marvelous way to celebrate victories you have obtained while valleys are put in place to grow us. Thus, take that exam life is giving you because without the valley, mountaintops do not exist. Embrace that food fight! Survey the mess! Permit your canvas to be decorated with both mountains and valleys.
