Being positive is not just a nice, feel-good way to live but, in fact, is the way to live if you want better health, meaningful relationships and greater individual and team success. Research (Manju Puri and David Robinson, Duke University) has confirmed that optimistic people work harder, get paid more, win at sports more regularly, get elected to office more often and live longer.

The future belongs to those who believe in it and have the mindset, resilience, and perspective to overcome all the challenges in order to create it. (John Gordon)

Wishing you peace and wellbeing as you check in on how you view your daily life.

PS: Remember to hold the ones you love just a little closer and tighter this week (without expectations).
