Quote of the day

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.
- Ella Fitzgerald

Cultivating love and inspiration would be productive.  I watched a dramatic movie which struck me yesterday.  As soldiers passed each other, they saluted with passion.
 
What thoughts pass through my mind as I pass others during the day?  I had a nightmare about work, which was a toxic environment.  In that place, when we passed each other, there was negative commentary usually exchanged, even through email.

He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.
- Henry Ford


When it's a tossup to choose a thought, why not choose the more beneficial one?

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
- Confucius


Even the greatest people have to fall asleep, and rise every day, since rest is a basic human need.  Do I realize my mortality, and similarity to others?

You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.

If I kept doing what I was doing, where would I be in the future

Failure does not count. If you accept this, you'll be successful. What causes most people to fail is that after one failure, they'll stop trying.
- Frank Burford


Failing once often provides a second chance, but do I provide myself a second chance, if I quit

Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.
- Willis Whitney

What if used the term "so what" for each time my inner voice said "what if"  with a reason for not doing something constructive?

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
- Charles F. Kettering

I had to look up the meaning of "finger post", since I'd seen this quote before.  If I had to write something on the sign along my road to achievement, I'd write "detour", I suppose.
 
Does anybody have other ideas for what they would write on the sign

Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.
- Hans Selye

Stresses by their nature may not always be negative or positive. 
One way to look at this is to see how the general population sees something.  An example would be that some people like to vacation in the outdoors, so losing their home electrical power source temporarily might be not be noticeable.
 
Those who vacation in luxurious hotels might percieve a power source loss as more disruptive.  Their coping strategy might be to explore a blackout as as exploration of the outdoor vacation option.

If you are in the habit of thinking negative you can use this as a spring board to get rid of it by not believing it and recording in your mind the positive effect of not believing it. The exercise of proving it wrong gives you a lot of positives to put in your memory.

I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.
- Sugar Ray Robinson
