There is a word, that I thought I would never use. Someone I know of overuses it. That was their catch phrase. It was meant as an insult. However, there are times when you experience something that helps you change a negative connotation associated with a word.
Isn’t that Awesome? All you have to do is have a positive experience and label it with the word you may not have wanted to use. After a while, it will grow on you. Once the positive experiences outweigh any negative experiences, you will not hesitate to use it.
How you react to an experience and the story you tell yourself about a situation will bring about the emotions. If you chose to label it a negative experience and associate it with a specific word, it will keep hurting you if you allow it to. You have a choice to be Awesome, in the face of something negative. You can turn it around. You have the power to take a situation and find the positive in the bad situation. You can be Awesome in that way. I hope my kids see me experiencing some ups and downs, while keeping a positive outlook. Wouldn’t that be Awesome?
