Daily Gratitude: You can have love and hope while you’re being optimistic no matter what the circumstances. I’m sure you know people with devastating situations but they are still full of hope and optimism. If you’re like me, you shake your head and wonder how on earth they do it. I don’t have an answer other than that is their attitude abd they have mental habits they’ve cultivated for all their life. You can become like that if you work at it. Don’t wait until things go to pot before trying it though. Work on embedding those qualities now. I recommend a great book called “Think like a Winner” by Dr Staples. He shows you how to begin to incorporate it in your mind with specific techniques. It’s worth the effort.
