Daily Inspiration - Move forward with optimism.

Move forward with optimism. 

Practice an optimistic outlook--a hopeful and eager view--to multiply your chances of success. Optimism puts into play a powerful force on your behalf. Even when life is hard, know that nothing lasts forever. As you have heard before, "This, too, shall pass."  

It's easy to get discouraged when you have had a lot of practice being discouraged. But, now it's time to practice optimism.  

Action for the day: Pay attention to your thoughts today. When you have a negative thought, immediately replace it with an optimistic thought. Optimism can be learned.
