Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - March 10th

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power. - William James

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. - Helen Keller

The sun is shining.  Temperatures are rising.  Spring has almost sprung.  We lost an hour of sleep over the weekend!

Spring is the favorite season of the author and with it fast approaching the author is challenged to get caught up on work and clean out her apartment.  She desires to return to exploring the area and having fun with friends.  The author has been working 10 and 11 hour days and working some weekend.  It is not what the author desires, but the work has to be done.  On Saturday night, the author was talking to Mama Flow and she asked the author, “Do you like it?”  The author paused for a minute and she said “yes”.  The author continued, “I know that this experience is preparing me to accomplish my dreams.  It is difficult, but knowing that there is a purpose helps me get up before 3am and into the office by 6:30am.”

Optimism is a happiness magnet.  If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you. -  Mary Lou Retton

Through the long hours and trying situations, the author still takes time to socialize with friends and make them laugh.  Often times, the author will energetically say “It is a great day!” when people know the author is having a trying day or it is just a Monday!  Or the author tells stories of how her plants are doing, which she currently considers to be her kids.  She is happy most days when she remembers to water “her children” and opens the blinds so they will have sunlight throughout the day.  People laugh at the author for her optimism and craziness, but her antics put smiles on faces and lightens up the work day. 

Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people. - Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Optimism is an important “weapon” in accomplishing dreams and goals.  – Terri Flow

CHALLENGE: As this new season is fast approaching, spend March getting caught up on any outstanding tasks, conducting a first quarter review of goal accomplishment and being optimistic that this is the best year of your life!
