Day 16 & 17: Make Mistakes & Stay Positive

I start my day with a routine, and one of the things in my routine involves reading.  I try to read quotes or passages from books or blogs that inspire and motivate me.  Here are 2 that grabbed me today.  Enjoy!

"Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking ever will." ~Zig Ziglar

"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything.  I'm positive a doer makes mistakes."
~John Wooden

My take away: Don't be afraid to make mistakes.  You'll never know unless you try.  When in the face of a challenge...stay positive!

Day 14 & 15


I have to admit, the last week has been tough.  Many changes have occurred making it difficult to focus.  There are certain things that you can control, and then there are the things you cannot control. I have chosen to focus on what I can control, and everything else can kiss my ass!
