Good fortune shies away from gloom. Keep your spirits up. Good things will come to you and you will come to good things. ~Terri Guillemets
You attract what you are. Negative begets negativity. Even if you are the most optimistic person there will be times when negativity will find a path into your soul. When those around you are infected it's hard to stay healthy. You have to find a way stay mindful and practice positivity even when you don't feel like it. When you are leading - be honest when times are tough and show your team how to turn around an attitude. Lift the fog for them with the truth and with the possibilities. Be a role model - if you hang your head then others will, too. If you lift your head to the sun, then others will, too.

Leaders Don't Say Impossible
I have learned to use the word impossible with the greatest caution. ~Wernher von Braun~
How many times this week have you used the word impossible or some other worthy synonym? Do you fling it out there casually as a reason to not take action? When you do use that word do you challenge yourself? Not that you need to dwell on things that you might not be able to control but perhaps you are too quick to judge the situation. Successful leaders will commonly think"difficult" but rarely "impossible." As a leader, if you use the word impossible on something really important, you will be seen as someone with limited abilities...limited vision. You certainly won't find someone who wants to follow "it can't happen!" People want leaders who say, "Let's make it happen!"

4. As thoughts come in, acknowledge and whisk them away
5. Focus on your breathing
6. Think about the affirmation:
"I will carefully assess whether it is truly impossible or just plain difficult and attainable."
