"A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks." - Oscar Wilde

Whenever I can, I try to be as positive as possible. Don't get me wrong, it's sometimes very hard. With the daily stress of work and life (and everything in between), negative thoughts can definitely creep their way in there. But, whenever things get too hard for me to handle, I always try to keep the bigger picture in mind. I think to myself, "What am I working towards and how will I get there?" Before we can achieve "success," we mustn't be afraid to get a little dirty. Sometimes difficult situations are just little tests preparing us for our bigger goal. If it's hard now, remember that it won't be hard forever, because all things have a way of working themselves out. So instead of complaining about all the hard work that comes your way, change your tune and remember that hard work now only leads to a sweeter payoff later.
