As I get older, I am learning more and more that people’s internal states have very little to do with what is going on around them. I am preaching to myself here as well. I have not been above a few private pity parties. The word that seems to be cycling around right now is gratitude. I can hear the critics already. So should I slap a stupid smile on my face when my dog dies? No, that’s not what I am getting at.   It is just that much of what happens to us can be positive, either in what could develop from it or in what it could teach us. There are many tools and gurus out there. Want a quick cheap way to make a difference? Use only positive self-talk for one week. Let me know what happens. Till we chat again, Wayne ]]>
