But I guarantee you...the optimist enjoys it more! Happy New Year Everyone! Here's to accomplishing everything you hope to achieve in 2014! Make it great!

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path.

As human beings, we often believe we don't have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives. But what we need to understand is that greatness exists in all of us. It's simply a matter of pulling that greatness out of ourselves and using it to get us from where we are now...to where we want to be. While many people believe they are entitled to live a great life, top achievers we've met over the years know they must take 100% responsibility for achieving the lifestyle, relationships, financial freedom and opportunities they experience in their lives. This isn't always easy. But one way to start taking more responsibility is to begin responding differently to the events that occur in your life. Don ’ t wait. Start now. Make today a great day!

This is your life. Live it. It is valuable. Make the most of it. If you desire more. Do something about it. Live the life you deserve! Taking action is the part...most people don't do. Then we wonder why things don't change for the better. Don't stop believing. Don't fear. Don't wait. Don't give up. Don't give in. Don't settle for less! Happy and unhappy people tend to have very similar life experiences. The difference is what they focus on. It's your choice. Approach everything with an Attitude of Gratitude and focus on what you have instead of what you do not. Things don't necessarily get easier, we just change the impact or meaning by how we choose to deal with them...and through this we get stronger and wiser. Make today a great day!

To be grateful can be difficult when things seem not worth giving thanks for. Try it anyway. Allow yourself to be in the difficult situation and be grateful inside yourself, in the background.

Grateful for your ability to turn things around. - Lisbeth Mahnkopf How do you turn your life around? Begin by developing an attitude of gratitude!

You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively. - Norman Vincent Peale Unexpected circumstances can be thrown at you, but what is the thing that counts most in these situations? What counts most is how you react to what happens to you, especially when you have unexpected problems of any kind.  A Positive Mental Attitude is indispensable to your success. You can be as positive as you want to be if you will simply think about the future, focus on the solution and look for the good. If you do what other successful people do, if you use your mind to exert mental control over the situation, you will be positive and cheerful most of the time. And you will reap the benefits enjoyed by all successful people.

For all who have served and to those who are serving...we show great appreciation.  And to those who have died, we also show remembrance.  Men and women giving their best to defend what they love.  They defend our country, they fight and sacrifice so that we may know freedom.  Unknown and faceless to everyone except those who knew them personally or served with them.  Some call them soldiers, others call them heroes.  Because of them, we continue to live in freedom. For this we give our thanks!

As soon as you start to feel differently about what you already have, you will start to attract more of the good things, more of the things you can be grateful for. - Joe Vitale Life is what we make it.  We tend to get more of what we give and what we expect.

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right. - Jack Canfield Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. It always seems impossible until it is done. How long should you try? Until you succeed!
