We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic.

Saying yes means getting up and acting on your belief that you can create meaning and purpose in whatever life hands you.

Complaining will not change things in your life; only action will. Make a list of all you need to do to change what doesn't work in your life and, little by little, begin making those changes.

Your inner peace has nothing to do with your dramas of your life.

You are innately designed to use your personal power. When you don't, you experience a sense of helplessness, paralysis, and depression-which is your clue that something is not working as it could. You, like all of us, deserve everything that is wonderful and exciting in life. And those feelings emerge only when you get in touch with your powerful self.

Whatever happens, I'll handle it.

As we start looking for the good, our focus automatically is taken off the bad.
