"Acknowledge what is not, but CELEBRATE what is!"
Written in 2010 by Connie Scolinos
For such a time as this... a perfect antidote for negativity! Too many times in life we focus on the negative. Our minds repeatedly play over our losses, disappointments, and unmet expectations; all the 'what nots'in our lives. We waste precious mental, emotional, and spiritual energy in negative thoughts patterns which become complaining, grumbling mouths. The more thankful we are for all the 'that is' in our lives, the more Grateful our hearts will become and the more joy-filled our lives will become.

"Look Up To See What Is Going Down."
Copyright © 2021 Lina and the Lions
Have you ever felt like you have been running fast but on the spot? And the only destination in sight is the hole that you have managed to dig yourself into? My head was down, staring at the screen, worrying about things that haven't happened yet and completely neglecting the gut feeling in my stomach that was screaming at me to look up!

This quote really inspired me because I was planning to open a restaurant in my community, and it was like nobody actually believed in my dreams. Initially, I had wanted to give up.

It's amazing!

"Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life. Never be afraid to try something new because life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already knew. It's easy to see the negative, but every person, every situation, has something unique about it. Develop a habit of finding the greatness in every situation.
Being a positive person does not mean your life is perfect, please understand that. It simply means that you have hope and strength, and you love and value what you have, and what you're striving to be. Never stop believing in what you are capable of being. It's not miracles; it's attitudes. You change your attitude, you change your life. If you believe you can; then you will.
I am strong because I've been weak. I am fearless because I've been afraid. I am wise because I've been foolish. Don't run away from your mistakes. Fix them, learn from them and understand what you need to do so that you never repeat them. I urge you to remind yourself, success is a formula and attitude a strategy. Life extends beyond our aspirations and far beyond the goals of our lives. Enable the attitude to change and the ability to change what doesn't suit you."

Life is Good!
"Surely a clay pot cannot ask the potter, why did you make me like this? â-- Romans 9 v 20. However, the clay pot may request that it be used to serve kings. It may request that it be used for a special purpose; and it may request that its composition be improved on. Such are reasonable requests to make; but to query its form is a foolish thing to do. The question, why were you made this way is for you to ponder on and use to your advantage. That question is not for the potter."

"Rule # 1 - Don't give up! No matter what happens, never give up. Rest, change direction, slow down if you must; simply never give up."
Written in 2021 by Erich Jao --- Philippines
These days it's easy to quit especially when the whole world's outlook is dismal. With so much written in any platform about what to do, it's so easy to get confused and find the path of least resistance. Some materials may say to take it easy on yourself and give in.... Whenever I feel lost, or defeated, I go into this fundamental thinking - I am not throwing in the towel. If I simply have to show up, I will. If I can just do one thing, I will. Anything works as long as I am not throwing in the towel.
