A saying in my place goes, ‘that success refuses to go to the house of those who fail to appreciate the success of others around them, because success feels that when she arrives, you will equally fail to appreciate her presence.’
Positive energy attracts positive things, we should therefore always try to appreciate the humble beginnings while we plan and wait for the bigger ones.

I am amused that some people think of optimism as wishful thinking or trying to make positive things happen. Actually, it’s looking at a situation with a whole different perspective. The pessimist will look out the window at rain and bemoan the fact that he won’t be able to go out. The optimist appreciates the rain for the life it gives. They are looking at the same circumstance. My son (who is 10) and I play a game where someone comes up with a situation and we explore what the optimistic and pessimistic views would be. I hope that this will help him to understand the importance of perspective.

As I sit here and quietly battle the cancer within me, I am reminded that positive thoughts are a BIG part of that. I am a firm believer in positive attracts positive. I know it makes a difference in the outside world. Iv’e seen it in action at my workplace. Being realistic does not mean I am being negative. It simply means that if something else goes wrong I am mentally ready to fight it positively! I am also extremely aware that this fight and win with cancer is going to open new possibilities and exciting ways to help others along as helping me too.

Amen! I like your attitude and words. Of course when we have problems, there is need to acknowledge and face them, but they are better faced with a positive attitude.
