The good times

The good times are created by the way you live them. With every experience comes the opportunity for doing so.

The actual circumstances are secondary. What matters most is what you do with them, guided by the attitude you bring.

If you assume the day will be miserable, you’ll surely find a way to make it so. Assume something much better, and you’re likely to get much better results.

You can’t control the nature of other people, places, events or things. What you can do is connect with them and work with them to bring about valuable, positive experiences.

Many desirable things are inaccessible, and yet a good life is always within reach. Every good time you’ve ever known arose out of whatever was available in the moment.

No matter where you are, or what you’re doing, or who you’re with, give the best of yourself. That’s what makes the good times happen.
