I'm happy that I was robbed in Puerto Rico.


Positive Attitude is not a gimmick; It’s my way of life.

I choose gratitude as my tool for maintaining a positive attitude. I enjoy living a happy life by showing gratitude to the people that I deal with. It is a CHOICE to live happy. You can choose to be happy too.

People get “positivity” confused with “fantasy” sometimes.

Positivity doesn’t mean that bad things don’t happen to me. Positivity doesn’t mean that the universe must favor me or any of my plans. Positivity doesn’t even guarantee success after you spend a lifetime doing the “right thing” along your journey. Positivity DOES give you the tool to handle any negative situation, by always looking for the good no matter what you are faced with.

The  night before Thanksgiving 2015 in San Juan, Puerto Rico somebody smashed the window of our car at the Afrika Club. We were there to film a live performance of recording artist Eddie Lamenaza, but when we got back to our car from checking in with the club manager, the film and audio equipment was gone. Any "indie" filmmaker knows how bad this sucks.

A few of the items were:
Canon DSLR Camera
2 Lenses
H5 Zoom Audio
Lavalier Microphone
SD Cards
Batteries

Why did this happen to me? Am I a bad person? Is this Karma from something that I did when I was 16 years old? Where is this negativity coming from?

……..NONE of those questions matter.

I started to think about: I volunteer with veterans, I mentor kids, I help non-profit organizations, I treat people well, I even take my dog to the beach…… So, why me?

……..NONE of those things matter either.

I DO what I do because it makes ME happy. The universe doesn’t trade my good deeds for a lower amount of negativity that can come my way. I can’t control WHAT happens to me in my life. We only have control of about 10% of anything that happens in our lives. I only have control over my reaction when something good or bad happens to me.

Fact: My film & audio equipment is gone.
Fact: It’s time for my reaction…….

I kept it cool. I thought to myself, “Good. I hope he bought his family a nice Thanksgiving Day dinner with the money he got for that stuff.”

“Maybe this is a sign that I needed to put the camera down, and focus on bigger things?”

“Now I have an opportunity to learn PhotoShop more. Or maybe I can buy a better camera? Oh damn, we should call the cops.”

That was my REAL reaction. I didn’t react this way because it would look better for a blog. I didn’t react this way because I thought that it would help to magically bring my stuff back. I reacted this way because I KNEW my stuff was gone. I could not control that situation from happening to me. I also knew that anger, hate, and over-thinking only leads to the BAD me.  Positivity and forward-thinking take a massive amount of work to achieve.

I do everything that I can to protect my mind and spirit from any negative thoughts entering or being created within myself.

Why would I poison myself with hate because somebody chose to do something bad to me? It doesn’t make sense to make myself FEEL bad for something that I didn’t have any control over.

Staying positive helps me keep a clear mind so I can make better decisions in tough times.

I didn’t post this on Facebook when it first happened because it was one day before a holiday break. I didn’t want people to see negativity on their timelines, and I’m happy that I did that.  It gave me time to focus on being happy with the people around me, instead of waiting to read the comments on a post about something bad that happened to me. By choosing to not post about this situation, I have been able to keep my mind clear of negativity.

Negativity destroys creativity, and I can’t afford that.

Thank you to my friend Luiz Burgos (U.S. Navy Veteran) for inviting us to enjoy Thanksgiving Day with his family in Caguas, PR. I'm happy that I didn't make an excuse of having a broken window to not go from Bayamon to Caguas to enjoy time with our Puerto Rican family. Saying YES is part of the happiness equation.

Let's Party!

Positive energy only please

I never know what obstacle will be thrown in front of me at any given moment.  The one thing that I do know is that I do not respond to negativity with negativity.   In the last month my van has been vandalized with graffiti, my iphone4 was dropped & cracked, and a studio that we shot at mysteriously couldn't find two of my C-stands when we wrapped up our shoot (filmmaking equipment - value $350 LOST).   Each time I have a mis-fortune in my life I use it to make myself a sharper producer and person.  It forces me to be in a state of chaos, so I MUST figure out what to do in a very little amount of time.  For instance, today my phone was stolen and now I have an iPhone4 again because I had to figure out a way to communicate immediately.  If my phone didn't get stolen maybe I wouldn't have taken the initiative to figure out how I can get my iPhone4 fixed for an affordable price?  Thank you very mucho to www.LAiPhoneRepair.com - Jonathan was on his job!  3169 W.
