“The power of our beliefs can work in either direction to become life affirming or life denying.” (Gregg Braden)

Many of us are familiar with this truthful quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: “Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.” I wish I could promise all of you that your life from now on will be nothing “sunshine and roses” (wonderful), and that nothing horrible will ever happen to you again. If I had the power to do that, there would be many issues in my life that would be resolved and over with.

Whatever your challenges might be (you know many of mine through this blog), I think it’s more important the attitude you handle with instead of the challenge itself. In the grand scheme of life, being negative only gives you bad health, and has the ability to alienate you from those people you need the most in times of crisis. A positive attitude gets you through challenges with the least emotional damage (I believe). You can get through almost anything with hope and appreciation. This comes from being positive. It’s important to be more positive daily (even if you are naturally negative). Exercise this muscle in your mind until it becomes a good habit.
