My Life Reflection

In life, we have choices; those choices we make can greatly impact the outcome of our days. For example, every morning we wake up we have the choice to think positively or negatively. What I have found is that these initial thoughts when I wake up can greatly impact the outcome and feel of your day. Going through high school, I would always wake up in the mornings with a glass-is-half-empty feel. Due to this thought process, I was never really happy; I walked around with a depressed feeling.

Finally, the video in the third and final segment of my video depicts what happens when you drop the negative thoughts and all the positive thinking starts it; shows what happens when all the positive things come together and what happens when you start your day
