In the Present

FIND THE GOOD SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION

The ultimate optimist you must become to really turn sour situations into sweet happenings.

You cannot have the success without the failures. Any experience can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things.

In all of your adversities lies the seeds of equivalent advantages.
In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

View your problems as opportunities. When it's dark enough you can see the stars.
