Quote of the Day
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
- Eleanor Roosevelt

Have you allowed fears to stop you from progress? I always think of this as a little devil on one shoulder whispering in your ear that you can't do it or you shouldn't even try, as the angel on the other shoulder tries to tell you that you can achieve greatness if you just believe. So if you find yourself struggling today with negative thinking, ask yourself what could happen if just for today you thought positively. Many of us do not apply for jobs or make relationship changes when we are thinking negatively. We can often find comfort in staying right where we are. The idea of stepping outside the box can be scary for many because we allow negative thinking to win over our desire to make changes.
Key words to look for to give you a clue if you are thinking in a negative mode: "what if," "I can't," "maybe tomorrow," "if only," and I'm sure there are many more.
Ask yourself today if you are acting out of fear or out of love. If you find that little devil (negative thoughts) are stopping progress, tell the little guy to take a hike and you no longer are going to allow your dreams to be squashed. It may take time to change the way you think, but you can do it! Focus on the goals ahead.
Best wishes for a great day!
