Your reaction to a situation determines whether it will be positive or negative. If you're determined to label a situation positive, no matter how it appears, the result MUST be positive.

Your life is always your call!

It's core to my beliefs now: Sometimes in being given a challenge, you're actually being given a real opportunity, and a lot of that is how you handle it.

Every experience is a positive experience if I view it as an opportunity for growth and self-mastery.

If you have the right attitude, interesting problems will find you.

When I look back on it now, I am so glad that the one thing that I had in my life was my belief that everything in life is a learning experience, whether it be positive or negative. If you can see it as a learning experience, you can turn any negative into a positive.

What we sometimes consider a stumbling block is rather a rock we can step on.

It is important to live each day with a positive perspective. It is not wise to pretend problems do not exist, but it is wise to look beyond the problem to the possibilities that are in it.

If we can use our problems and illnesses as opportunities to think about how we can change our lives, we have power.

If you believe it will work out , you'll see opportunities. If you believe it won't you will see obstacles.
