Look On the Optimistic Side of Life

Growing up as a "Disney Kid", I learned a lot from Walt Disney's movies, but also from the man himself. Here are some of my favorite quotes and why that are special to me. 

This quote is one that always reminds me that Walt was a normal human being. Walt took many risks in his life with his business. He was always a go-getter, but being in the business of film, people don't always get exactly what they want and they see rejection often. This is something that I believe Walt used as a spring board to keep going. He wanted to prove people wrong. He wanted to show them that the ideas that some thought were crazy, were actually ingenious. He built an amazing theme park in California that had a disaster for an opening day. So bad that the asphalt was not even dry and guests' shoes were sticking to the pavement. The park was written off as a failure. Of course, we all know that Disneyland came back to win everyone over after that debacle, but I'm sure that Walt did not envision that day going so terribly. After much hard work and persistence, Disneyland became one of the best vacation destination spots in the US.

It is always important to be optimistic in every day life. I am a big believer that how you think your day is going to turn out, is exactly how it is going to turn out. However, you cannot expect that because you have a positive attitude everything is going to work out for you. Life is complicated. It takes work and persistence to make your dreams come true. Sometimes, failing is part of the plan. Keep yourself positive, but life happens. Don't let it get you down!
