My Monologue

Life is good. Life is good exactly the way it is. My motto and my goal in life is to realize that even at the worst and hardest times that life is good and that each and every one of us are so lucky. We really are. Even when we think that we may not be wearing whats most in fashion at the time or driving the nicest car around town, we should be thankful for what we do have and realize that life isn’t about all the materialistic things, what really matters is your personality and your views on life. For as long as I can remember, I recall my mom always talking about the power of positive thinking and every time I said that there was no way I can pass a test, she would always say think positive, believe, and you will pass. She would always say “if you believe, you will achieve.” I used to hate when she said that. I would hold my ears shut and start to sing loudly so that she wouldn’t say it again. Freshmen year in High School, my english teacher would write life is good on the bottom right corner of every single sheet of paper he handed out. I must have seen those three words over and over again to the point that I started seeing it on the bottom right corner of every sheet of paper I saw. I always knew life was good and I was always thankful for everything I had. I decided to give my moms whole positive thinking idea a chance. Till today, I think I am the happiest and luckiest girl and I now live by two mottos: positive thinking and life is good. If I can encourage even one person to take on this attitude, then I know I’ve done a lot.
