...or...
???Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore are all good pals. They play together, go on adventures, and learn things. Each of them cares deeply for his buddies.
When you think of "Tigger", what comes to mind? What is he like? (happy, silly, energetic, positive, creative, carefree)
When you think of "Eeyore", what comes to mind? (sad, slow, dejected, pessimistic)
When anything happens, Eeyore expects the worst. He expects the weather to be rainy, the task to be unpleasant, the journey to be too long, the water be too warm and the food too cold. He sets his expectations way low so he is seldom disappointed, but then he has nothing to look forward to.
Tigger, on the other hand, sees fun and adventure in everything. He hops rather than walk, jumps rather than run, and bounces rather than sit still. He sees the rainbow through the clouds, notices something new at every step, and believes every minute of life is a gift to enjoy. He has joy. He is always looking ahead to the next adventure.
So, who will you be? Will you be more of an Eeyore, plodding through life, sure that school will be hard, friends will be few, and there won't be much? Or are you like Tigger, ready to make every task a game, every day an adventure, and every challenge an opportunity?
The choice is yours!
