Being happy despite and because.
Edward Rodriguez, or Eddie, as many of his friends call him, has a special gift: he spreads happiness wherever he goes, readily sharing his positive, upbeat ways.
Not that Edward is of the easy, happy-go-lucky kind. He’s had his share of setbacks. But instead of caving in to the boulders in his road, he decided to find super human strength in a positive attitude.
That alone is an accomplishment, but it gets better: Eddie’s goal is to pass along his sunny disposition to as many people as he can.
Because he derives strength to help ease the burden of others by inciting happiness through his infectious smiles.
Knowing what a positive attitude can do to one’s well-being, Eddie sometimes even dons a rabbit costume, just to make someone else forget about their own worries for a while.
And he’s certainly stuck his neck out, when he walked from South Florida to New York City, just to be an ambassador for his happiness philosophy.
For the sake of a positive outlook, Edward Rodriguez will go to any length, literally. His greatest joy is, when he makes somebody’s day brighter.
Take a cue from this gentle man – lighten your load by changing your attitude!
