Positivity.

I am a pretty easy read. I am a creature of habit, and I enjoy being that way. Its nice to have a routine, one of which I really enjoy. Coffee and the newspaper on Sunday mornings, I drink tomato juice, everytime I fly (without failure). Another habit, I love is the positive gene that was passed down to me. I thrive on being positive. I live for the positive side of every situation. It has been drilled into my head since before I can remember. Looking back at my childhood, I cannot remember a situation or conversation, where my parents didn't point out or ask me what was the positive aspect of this? Even when I struggled at something my mother would say it is my "strongest weakness." I grew up in a life of positivity. It has now become second nature to find the positives in all situations.

Apparently, in one of my recent posts, I didn't display my positive side (I got an email about it, I have attached it below). After having it brought to my attention, yes I agree that it wasn't the most positive thing I have ever written. However, to my defense, their is a positive to realizing that I am not who, where or what I want to be. It is realizing it, acknowledging it, and working towards being the positive person that I want to be. Although, it isn't always positive, the results needs to be. I am working towards the result. I am following my heart and trying to strive to be that better person.

Here is the email, I received:
Hey Gorgeous:

I read one of your posts, and it was rather negative. The post
referenced your life, love and employment. Although you stated
that you wanted to make a difference, you portrayed a negative
perception of your life. I am worried about you.

While any change, whether for good or for bad, takes time to
develop and become noticeable, I assure you that you convey
positive energy to everyone which you encounter. Perhaps, the
change that you desire will not directly derive from your hands
but from your impact on others. Either way, you still affect
positive change for the betterment of others. For instance,
although it is not radiantly evident, you were the engine of
change in my life. If I had not met you, when I did, I would still
feel under appreciated and misserable. Whether my love fell upon
def ears is indeterminative, you reminded me of what it felt like
to be happy and in love. Bottom line, love is the greatest gift
which one person can bestow upon another person.

Insofar as your desire to find true love, I am positive that it
will find you. Unfortunately, for me, I am accutely realizing that
I am not that person for you. Nonetheless, although temporarily
out-of-order, you possess a pure and honest heart. This fact is
evident to anyone who knows and understands you. Believe it or
not, I have a decently firm grasp on how you function. My
contention, which remains true, is your fear to trust another
person. However, if I were to make similar arguments, you would
tell me to trust the goodness of others and look to the positive
characteristics in other people. While I could ramble on about my
feelings for you, I advise you to look to your own positive
attributes. You are a dynamic person and every aspect about and
petaining to your person is beautiful. Especially, your ability to
make another person feel like they are the only person that exists
in this world.

As far as your job, you are not a superficial person. I do not
believe that opportunities to stive on a monetary level stimulates
you. Perhaps, a career that enables you to positively influence
other people would best suit your personal wantings. Personally, I
think the corporate world diminishes rather than exemplifies your
beauty and spirit.

In sum, in weighing and evauating your personal attributes and
characteristics, I adamantly proclaim that you are an unbelievably
righteous and beautiful person. If you dislike this e-mail, I
appologize. However, I could not, in good faith, allow you to
reflect negatively upon yourself. You are too important for those
thoughts and feelings. Urban concurs!

p.s. I cannot wait to see you. I miss your beautiful smile, and I
hope that you will allow me the pleasure of witnessing it before
you leave Florida.

This email, was from a guy that is by far the best individual anyone could ever take home to meet mom and dad. He is a little rough around the edges, only for the sure fact that life isn't handed to him on a silver platter. I constantly, reminded him of the phrase "you will get more bees with honey then vinegar." I have seen him, make great strides. He values love and family. He enjoys making others happy. He is someone who I greatly admire. Getting this email from him, made me look at myself in the mirror. Please disregard all of his spelling and grammatical errors. His heart is in the right place.

May all of you have someone that pushes you to look at yourself in the mirror and truly analyze if you are who you need to be. Big thanks to the biggest Tebow fan I know. Thank you for pushing me to get back to my roots of being positive all the time, that was one fantastic email. You are a great person, may you be able to look yourself in the mirror and realize that you really are a fantastic person, inside and out.
