The way you think about this moment, this day, this life, affects the way you live it. The way you live determines the life you experience.

Just because you think something doesn’t make it true. Yet over time, through choices and actions, your thoughts do drive the reality of your life.

In what direction are your thoughts pointed right now? Make sure it’s a direction you really want to go.

Are you focused only on what has gone wrong and extrapolating that into more that will go wrong? Though it’s essential to acknowledge the difficult realities, you never have to do so from a negative perspective.

Activate the power of your observation, your wisdom, your experience. Make an intentional choice to see the positive possibilities, and you will.

Allow fear, anger, resentment, and worry to all fall away. Zero in on the positive and realistic possibilities, and go from there.
