Essay Prewriting: My personal credo

I believe that happiness is a state of mind, not something that just happens to a person. So, life isn't fair and sometimes bad things happen. If you are constantly dwelling on all the negative instead of focusing on the positive then you will lead a very miserable life. Also, misery loves company which means that those around will you will in turn become miserable as well. I believe that filling your mind and heart with love and positive thoughts it will lead to a positive life. So, what I'm saying is that throwing a pity party has never gotten anyone anything. If you want something, you have to work for it. If you fail, get up and put a smile on your face so you can try again.
