Power of Positive Thinking

There's this paper on my parents' refrigerator that I read every morning.  I love to read and will read just about anything ... when I was little, I read the nutrition facts on our cereal boxes during breakfast.

It's kind of corny and cliche, but many times things become cliche because they're true.  Old sayings and words of wisdom stick around generation after generation because they're true!

The winner is always part of the answer.
The loser is always a part of the problem.

The winner always has a program.
The loser always has an excuse.

The winner ssays, "Let me do it with you!"
The loser says, "That's not my job."

The winner sees an answer to every problem.
The loser sees a problem to ever answer.

The winner sees a green near every sand trap
The loser sees two or three sand traps near every green.

The winner says, "It may be difficult, but it's possible."
The loser says, "It may be possible, but it's too difficult."

Be a winner!

I like to try to stay focused on the positive, because there are many times when I struggle to stay happy.  It's easier to stay happy when I'm actively focused on being happy and optimistic.  It really makes life better.
