“Strong positive beliefs are the foundation upon which all great lives are built.  Such beliefs are magical.  They can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, the simple into the profound, and a single step into a giant leap.” ~ Beth Mende Conny:  Dare to Believe

Good Morning!  

I have met many positive people in my life and they all seem to have extraordinary tales to tell.  I also have met many pessimistic people in my life, and their stories rarely capture my attention beyond the telling: for, somewhere along the way, they have fallen sour to their circumstances and are not willing to budge from their lower ground, no matter what you say.

Make a point to surround yourself with positive people – their strength is magnetic, infectious, invigorating, and often magical.  Surrounding yourself with pessimistic people can be draining, even exhausting, and will only, if not sooner, then later, pull you down and decrease your “mind-set.”

Your Turn:  Take a moment today to make a date with an optimistic person who inspires you.

Today’s Affirmation:  I surround myself with people who inspire and encourage me.
