Make it Positive

"Never think of revising as fixing something that is wrong.  That starts you off in a negative frame of mind.  Rather think of it as an opportunity to improve something you already love."    
 -Marion Dan Bauer

I particularly enjoy this quote because it represents the foundation on how I've become to think about everything.  There is almost always a positive way of viewing anything.  Looking at the glass half full, as opposed to half empty, is a technique that can become a lifestyle and can alleviate a lot of stress on daily routines.  After practicing this lifestyle for awhile, I feel like I'm surrounded by a positive aura everywhere I go, and it results in more smiles around me and a lightened load of stress.  When you think about it, something is only as bad as you make it seem in your own mind.  So, if you alter that framework, phenomenal results can happen.
