Positive Thought of the Day ~ You’ll Show Them
“Sometimes to go forward you’ve got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back.
From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.” Gordon Strachan
Note: Getting knocked down, embarrassed, and made to feel like you’re at the deepest part of the hole is not the end. It’s only the end if you feel sorry for yourself and refuse to climb out. Climbing out is hard work. It takes courage. When you climb out and into the sunshine you’ll know one truth, you took a hard shot, got back up and climbed out. Show them all the stuff you are made of.

Feel Good Tip of the Day ~ Face It!
Face Life’s Stressors Head On
Life is full of stressors, and it’s impossible to avoid all of them. There’s no need to. Stress isn’t always harmful, and we can even change our attitudes about stress. For those stressors you can’t avoid, remind yourself that everyone has stress — there’s no reason to think it’s all on you. And chances are, you’re stronger than you might think you are. Instead of letting yourself get overwhelmed, try to address the stressor head-on. This might mean initiating an uncomfortable conversation or putting in some extra work, but the sooner you confront it, the sooner the pit in your stomach may start to shrink.
Note: Oftentimes when we face a stressful situation part of our stress comes from within. We set a fixed outcome in our mind as the only possible good outcome. When we become fixated on a single outcome, we lose the opportunity to see other, and often better outcomes. Stay open to different, yet viable outcomes, as you confront any stressful situation.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Dig Deep, You’ll Discover a Reservoir of Strength
“You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into
positive, effective, unstoppable determination.” Ralph Marston

You are strong. There is no challenge you can’t handle. Dig deep into the reservoir of strength memories within to power you forward.

Poem of the Day ~ An Invite to Eternity
An Invite to Eternity
John Clare
Wilt thou go with me sweet maid
Say maiden wilt thou go with me
Through the valley-depths of shade,
Of night and dark obscurity,
Where the path has lost its way
Where the sun forgets the day
Where there’s nor life nor light to see
Sweet maiden, wilt thou go with me?
2
Where stones will turn to flooding streams
Where plains will rise like ocean waves
Where life will fade like visioned dreams
And mountains darken into caves
Say maiden wilt thou go with me
Through this sad non-identity
Where parents live and are forgot
And sisters live and know us not?
3
Say maiden wilt thou go with me
In this strange death of life to be
To live in death and be the same
Without this life, or home, or name
At once to be, and not to be
That was, and is not—yet to see
Things pass like shadows—and the sky
Above, below, around us lie?
4
The land of shadows wilt thou trace
And look—nor know each other’s face,
The present mixed with reasons gone
And past, and present all as one.
Say, maiden can thy life be led
To join the living to the dead?
Then trace thy footsteps on with me
We’re wed to one eternity.
