Over the past few years, I’ve developed a personal framework that has truly simplified my life. I’ve learned how to see the good in everything, how to find the lesson in a loss, and how to transform an “L” into a “W.” Over time, I’ve even sharpened this skill by focusing on what truly matters. And here’s the beauty of it—it’s so simple. If something bothers me, I don’t give it any energy. If something disturbs me, I let it go. I delete it from my mind and my space. This approach may drive others crazy, but honestly, that’s their problem, not mine.

I see friends and people all around me dive headfirst into negativity. They latch onto something disturbing, research it, talk about it endlessly, and even let their emotions spiral into anger or hatred. Yet, they’re glued to it, staring at it, talking about it, feeding it more attention. It baffles me every time. It’s like a form of self-inflicted punishment—like the old country song where the guy can’t get over his ex because he keeps staring at her pictures, replaying the bad memories alongside the good ones. In our world, it almost seems like being a glutton for punishment is glorified. But to me, it’s just draining and silly.

I’m here to remind you: it’s okay to move on. You don’t owe anyone an extended stay in a negative place. Never feel guilty about letting go of a problem or leaving negativity in the past. Instead, take the lesson it taught you, be grateful for the growth, and move on. Leave it where it belongs—behind you—and step into the next moment with clarity.

I’ll admit, I’m a sensitive guy. I feel things deeply, and dwelling on negativity drains me. I simply don’t have the energy for bad situations or idle, destructive conversations. What truly lights me up are conversations about positive, prosperous ideas. When I’m having a great conversation, I can feel the energy pulsing through me. It’s like nourishment for my soul—I don’t even feel hungry because I’m so full of life. That’s the power of positivity, of choosing to focus on what uplifts and inspires.

Words have power. I believe reckless or idle conversations are like planting seeds of chaos in your life. I’d rather stay in my own space and guard my energy than get swept up in turmoil that doesn’t even belong to me. Back in the day, I was the king of sarcasm and pessimism. I popped off at the mouth without a second thought, and my feelings—and my life—reflected it. Everything I said or believed back then became my reality, and not in a good way.

It was a revelation to realize that I was the cause of so much of my own undoing. And here’s the twist: now that I believe in positivity, speak life over myself, and embrace enthusiasm, those beliefs come back to me in the best ways. Life mirrors your attitude. When I approach life joyfully, it gives me joyful experiences. My bright perspective isn’t just a mindset; it’s a shield. Some might think it’s a lack of empathy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

When someone is down, I see the comeback already in motion. I see the breakthrough waiting to happen. I’ll extend my hand to help you back up, but here’s what I’ve learned: if you’re not ready to rise, I won’t force it. People have to see their own limiting beliefs for themselves. They have to confront them, learn from them, and decide to let them go. I trust that everyone has the ability to recognize their own power when the time is right.

In the meantime, I keep showing up. I walk my walk and talk my talk, not to push anyone but to inspire—just in case you’re ready to put on your own shoes and start your journey. I grow daily because I know I can. And I know you can too. It all starts with what you believe, what you focus on, and how you choose to direct your attention.

Attention is power. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. So why not use that power to grow, to move forward, and to create a life that brings you joy? Time is precious, and so is your focus. Choose wisely. If it doesn’t uplift you, prosper you, or align with the life you want to build, let it go. Your energy is too valuable to waste on anything less.

Thank you for letting me share this with you. Let’s keep choosing the good, the growth, and the greatness we’re capable of.
