How things could be going
+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When things go wrong, there’s no hard and fast rule that says you have to be dismayed. It’s just as possible, and a whole lot more useful, to be inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might often adopt an attitude based on what has recently happened. But that doesn’t have to be what drives your attitude and your outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if instead of being fixated on how things have been going, you direct your focus elsewhere? What if you look instead at how things could be going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even on a bad day you still have lots of good possibilities. And when you’re having a bad day that can be a great time to act on some of your most positive possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you dissatisfied and disappointed with the way things are? That enables you to envision precisely what would make life better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace that vision, feel its positive power. And let it push you, with an optimistic frame of mind, into effective and beneficial action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
