it's all in your head

Life is crazy.  Things happen all the time that we weren't ready for, or never thought would happen to us.  So the question is, how are we going to react to them?  We can turn situations into stressful ones that affect us the rest of our lives, or we can learn to have positive and helpful thoughts that could potentially turn "defining moments" in our life to "passing waves."  If we have negative thoughts about a situation or even a person, we need to take a step back and look at the reality of the situation.  After we do that, (grasp reality) then we will be able to take on the world with more self confidence than ever before. Let's all try it!  Because I know this is something that none of us are perfect at.
