Motivational Quote

Just as easy It is just as easy to focus your thoughts on something positive in your life as it is to focus on something negative. It is just as easy to be sincerely thankful for your blessings as it is to be bitter and angry about your problems. Maintaining a positive outlook on life requires no more effort than it takes to go around with a negative attitude. And that positive approach will bring much more value, meaning and fulfillment to your life. Staying positively focused requires no special skills or resources or position. All it takes is a choice. All it takes is the conscious choice to break away from the burdensome habit of negativity. It is a choice you can make right now, and in every moment that follows. Make that choice, and your limiting fears will be overwhelmed by purposeful determination. Make that choice, and your most difficult challenges will become your greatest opportunities. Living with a positive focus is just as easy as spending your precious time immersed in negativity. And it's a whole lot more enjoyable, too. -- Ralph Marston

Wow, what a message that I needed. I am writing it down and saving it. Acually the line "staying positively focused requires no special skills or resources or position. All it takes is a choice." Alot of times when things don't go my way (like this morning trying to get 5 year old ready for school and her griping the whole time) I make a choice to be positive and loving or to be negative and be mean and hurtful. I need to make a better choice because most mornings I am just tired of dealing with her. I look at her and love her so much but I just want to strangle her at the same time. When she leaves I just want to hold her and tell I love her and that I am sorry it was such a bad morning. If I would have been positive and let her know I loved her right off the bat I know that things would not have been such a chore. Thank you for reminding me to make good choices. God bless, Penni p.s. how are you feeling?

Thanks Marsha!!
