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!
