You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.

It can be yours

There is something that costs you nothing and which can bring you everything you ever could want. No one can prevent you from having it. No one can take it away from you unless you allow them to. It requires no special skill or knowledge.

It can instantly make you more effective, more creative, more open to possibilities. It can bring you the support and encouragement of others. It can shield you from discouragement and give you the strength to continue moving toward your dreams. It uncovers opportunities that you simply could never even imagine without it.

It keeps you from having to fight against reality and enables circumstances to work in your favor. It frees you from wasting your precious time on useless anger, or envy or resentment.

It is a positive attitude. And it can be yours right now. It’s yours to have, to use and to benefit from whenever you choose to embrace it.
