“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.”

Feeling Good Tip for Today ~ “Darkness Cannot Shut Me In Again.”
Helen Keller at age 19 months developed an illness that left her deaf and blind. Here’s what she said in her autobiography: “Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and joy. . . . I learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again.”
Note: Don’t let darkness shut you out. Don’t let the darkness strip you of hope and joy. Open your heart to love. Never quit. Never stop trying.

Poem for Today ~ Evening
Evening
Oliva Ward Bush-Banks
From out my open window, I can see
The rolling waves, as fierce and restlessly,
They dash against the long, long stretch of shore,
And in the distance, I can dimly trace,
Some out-bound vessel having left her place
Of Harbor, to return perhaps no more.
Within my mind there dwells this lingering thought,
How oft from ill the greatest good is wrought,
Perhaps some shattered wreck along the strand,
Will help to make the fire burn more bright,
And for some weary traveller to-night,
’Twill serve the purpose of a guiding hand.
Ah yes, and thus it is with these our lives,
Some poor misshapen remnant still survives,
Of what was once a fair and beauteous form,
And yet some dwelling may be made more bright,
Some one afar may catch a gleam of light,
After the fury of the blighting storm.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Ten Seconds is All it Takes
Ten seconds. Ten seconds is all it takes to continue when you feel like quitting. Surely, you can hang in ten seconds more. When those ten seconds end, continue for another ten seconds, then another ten seconds. Before you know it, you’ll be looking back and thinking, ‘Wow, I did it. I didn’t quit.’
Positive Thought for Today ~ Yesterday Doesn’t Determine Today
Yesterday doesn’t determine today. If it wasn’t working yesterday, make the adjustments and move on.
Don’t carry yesterday’s baggage, today’s load will be enough.
Look ahead to the all the great possibilities,
leave the negative thoughts in the trash can.
