Okay,
So I woke up today with mixed emotions. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't really figure out what was wrong. I found myself fighting with the bed and to get up and get prepared for the day was a struggle.
"Maybe it was because I've been battling malaria for days now. Or maybe because I made a lot of wrong choices with money last week and now I can't even picture myself surviving this week, as a student in a Nigerian university. I cursed at almost everything.
Well with willpower enough motivation. I pushed myself off the bed and took a shower. With a little bit of freshness I dressed up and off to school.
In school, while associating with friends I gradually found my sad emotions wearing off. This made me realize something. Well probably we all might be familiar with it but this particular time struck me
Your association determines your mood or your outcome in life. Yes, a positive mindset is contagious just as a negative mindset is. You associate with people that think life is hard, definitely you're going to be the next one. I call them mood killers and I tend to avoid anybody that thinks such way.
Now these colleagues of mine are also trying to survive in school. But they chose happiness. No wonder most of them said they prefer being in school than at home because they get to meet people and laugh away their worries.
Emotions aside. This is the same with our career and life. You never get to do it alone. You need people. Not just any person's. You need people with positive ideas about that particular business. People with a positive mindset about life that things will get better.
Note that when you associate with people that see positivity in negative situations you're definitely going to contact such a mindset. Because I strongly believe that a positive mindset is contagious like a negative mindset.
So I believe for our mental health we need to make friends with the right people. People that see positivity in every negativity. People that believe they can do it. People that believe that life is beautiful and so we should enjoy every minute of it.
Don't let your emotions affect you.
