Today is: "Positive Thinking Day!" Why Not?
"If you want to make an impact on those you lead then get your "Positive Thinking Cap" on and leave it on. It will make the difference!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Positive thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better." — Harvey Mackay
"Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same." ― Francesca Reigler
"There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative." ― W. Clement Stone
"In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision." — Dalai Lama
"You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind." — Joyce Meyer
"Work hard, stay positive, and get up early. It’s the best part of the day." — George Allen, Sr.
"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." — Mahatma Gandhi

” Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.” – John Wooden
We often cannot control situations but we can control how we react to them. So many people want to go back and second guess their decisions or their actions and then ruminate on what they think went wrong. What use is that? Take a lesson learned, if there is one and find something positive in where you are right now! How can you reframe something that you may not be happy with into a positive view?

Gandhi had it today- practice how you will play in other words. How true is that and how many of us think we can short sheet the effort and when it comes time to put the work in- we fall just a bit short? Morning Col and hope everyone has a great day

Pessimists squash ideas and tend to create nightmares, while optimists expand ideas into dreams that become reality. Positive thinking is the fuel that drives the optimist.
