Life experiences, gratitude, and synchronicities. These three main principles act as my foundation for positivity. My journey through life so far has taught me that remaining positive through any situation will lead you to incredible things in your life.
If you have interacted or consumed my content, you understand that I am a very understanding and positive person. I really try to emphasize with the other viewpoint so I can understand and frame the situation in a positive light. Being that positive light and energy has truly changed my life and helped me better the ones around me.
But, I have not always been this way.
I grew up in suburbia Cleveland in and city called Brecksville, which is known for their great schools, elite community members, and long standing ties to the Freemasons. It truly is an ideal place to grow up in. No crime, great schools, no struggles, I call it the Brecksville Bubble. Legit the biggest problem that happens in your life in Brecksville is that they spelled your name wrong on your Starbucks order.
Brecksville Road, Brecksville, Ohio
I stayed in this bubble for eighteen (18) years not really understanding the struggles of outside the bubble. This all shifted after I came home to Brecksville after my freshmen year college at Bowling Green State University (went there on a full-tuition academic scholarship).
May 16th started off like any other summer day for college returnees: enjoying the park, hanging out with friends, and drinking some beers. Around 10pm, a group of myself and three of my friends decided Taco Bell sounded amazing. My friend Dan volunteers to drive and off we go into the night, albeit rainy night.
We are driving through the windy Brecksville Reservation Park and then WHOOSH...
We hit this curve with tons of water on it and hydroplane going about 60mph spinning two full 360-degree circles before...
BAMMMMM!
We hit a tree about a basketball width in diameter.
First thing I do is scream because my knees were pushed so far into my chest it was excruciating (was in the rear left seat).
I look up and see my friend Dan's head smashed into the front windshield/driving wheel. Fuckkk he's gone. Nothing I can do. What about the other two?
I look up at the front passenger side where my best friend at the time Jeff was sitting. His head is bleeding, his white shorts and literally soaked with blood turning them crimson red. I gotta do something.
Look up see the sunroof's glass spiderwebbed and CRACK
Punched right through that bitch, grabbed my friend Jeff through the sunroof (doors were jammed couldn't get out).
The accident happened near Sleepy Hollow Golf course, which I played all the time because of my time of the golf team. I knew the course well so I noticed we were around the tee box for hole #8. I literally held up Jeff through backtracking eight holes of golf to the course parking lot where finally we were reachable. Called Jeff's mother and she showed up with the ambulance in tow.
This is where synchronicities started in come into my thoughts and influence my behavior in a positive direction.
The nurse in the ambulance was my friend Ashleigh's fiance, Nick. Told us all of us should really have died. Made sure that the time we shared made sure I didn't get any type of PSTD from the event.
The nurse is the hospital was Mrs. Wirkus, the mother one of my best friends, Steve, at the time. She is the most gentle, warm, positive person there is and just walked me through the entire process of being in the hospital, finding out my friend died, and why this could have happened.
Every since this day, my life has changed immensely. It was like the universe had enough of me not using the tools it provided me to build anything. Woke me up instantly. I noticed every little thing during the day was a miracle and I was so appreciative of it.
This life energy of positivity through life experience, gratitude, and synchronicity has rapidly developed through my twenties. I have lived in million dollar mansions on the water driving a Mercedes convertible and I have been so hungry and poor I had to push over garbage cans to get food. The universe has made sure I have developed an extreme level of empathy so I can understand why people do what they do and inspire and help them in the best way for that specific person.
This leads me to present day.
The amount of life experiences, levels of gratitude, and amount of synchronicities I have experienced has never been so high. This evidence and combined with seven years of data, market research, and experiences, I can no doubt declare all of this stems from positivity which is fostered by the universe.
I implore you to please go out and live; get some life experiences under your belt that will develop you into your true self.
Please deploy extreme levels of gratitude to whatever comes your way on a daily basis. Just know there is always someone out there worse than you. The universe blesses people with gratitude. If you don't believe me try it and see what happens :)
And lastly, do not discount the importance of synchronicities in your life. There are no such thing as a coincidence. If you believe something is a coincidence it's because you either can't connect the dots or far enough on your path of enlightenment. Harness the power of the synchronicities in your life and just watch how your life flourishes.
I hope this brought more insight into how I am so positive and how you can to.
