Once upon a time, there was this beautiful girl who was so happy and playful. She was so playful that she never knew her right from her left and her left from her right, but she was happy.
On her fifteenth birthday, her parents presented her two beautiful gifts, which she realized they had been living within her since the day she was born.
Before she greets, Mr. Negative and Mrs. Positive, who never agreed with each other's opinions, entered already.
Mr. Negative and Mrs. Positive always fight each other, no matter the situation. The girl was a talented writer, but she never had support from her parents, so she always felt disappointed, and Mr. Negative was still around to make her feel more uncomfortable.
She said to herself, "I don't know the reason I am still writing when I know very well if I send all my writings to all the groups or contacts in my phone, some will only read it and laugh at me saying, "She doesn't have work to do," some would even ignore it.
I have worked very hard, but still am not moving forward, I am still in the same place I was.
Mr. Negative, listen, my child. I was once like you. I wrote so many stories that I was hoping will move around the world, and people will learn from it, but guess what? There was no one to support me, so I let go of my dream, and I found something that would put food on the table.
Yes, you are right, Mr. Negative, and that is what I will do exactly. Don't listen to him, said Mrs. Positive. He was not determined to push harder to see his writings change the world.
My child, I want you to continue hoping and work very hard to achieve your dreams. Even if the whole world doesn't support you, support yourself and always have the faith that they will pay thousands to see you or your work one day. So keep doing your thing and always believe that there is one day for everything.
Thank you very much, Mrs. Positive, for the wonderful advice. I promise you from today, no matter what happens, I will never stop writing because I know there is one day for everything.
She is lying to you, don't listen to her. The world will never accept your writing, so find better things to do with your time because you will never make it. Thank you, Mr. Negative, but you are too late to control me. I owe you, so I will tell you what to do. Get out of my life and never come back.
Please, I have nowhere to go. I promise I will not distract you again, I promise. It's too late for you to apologize, so go away. I only need Mrs. Positive in my life. You have no use, so go.
That's how Mr. Negative leaves the story of the young girl, and from that time, she is really doing very well in her write-ups. So never let negativity take over your life. Be the master of your life, and never stop working very hard to achieve your goals. If this girl in this story can fight her negativity, who are you not to be able to fight yours?
Remember, you only live once, so live a positive life and stop wasting time on negative thoughts.
