You may not be on talking terms with your sister because of something that happened a while back which you don’t even remember clearly. Even if you do remember, do not be bogged down about the little things that hold you back personally or professionally. You need to just let them go. They are not worth your time and sometimes not worth losing your precious relationships either.

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I used to meet this person in the elevator every morning at work in my previous job.

What he said next, remained with me forever. “I consider every single day as the best day of my life and there is no if’s or but’s about it”, he said with his trademark smile. His positive attitude was infectious and it rubbed on all of us who, he greeted in the elevator. I am sure we were all a bit more optimistic than we were before we entered the elevator and that is exactly the power of  positive thinking!

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” – Michael Altshuler
