Smile, Sparkle, Survive
The last few days I’ve seen a series of TV interviews with Sandra Bullock. She’s a beautiful, successful movie star, but everyone knows the hard times she went through earlier this year. Shortly after Sandra won an Oscar, wearing a sparkling white gown and looking gorgeous, news reports revealed that her husband, Jesse James, had been cheating on her. Humiliated, she quickly ended her marriage.
I’m impressed with the way Sandra Bullock handled this public spectacle. She took some time to stay out of the spotlight and figure out what she needed to do. Smart move. When she finally came back into the spotlight to do interviews, it wasn’t to talk about her failed marriage, it was to make a happy announcement: she’d adopted a baby.
This week, she’s doing more interviews about her new baby and her new life. On the Today show on NBC, she said: “Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out.” What a fantastic attitude. She turned her pain into opportunity. She is on top of her industry as an actress and producer. She’s a new mom. She looks terrific and fit. She’s smiling now, and she has every reason to smile, because she has a positive attitude and knows everything is possible.
