Positive Thinking

The message your brother gives you is up to you. What does he say to you? What would you have him say? Your decision about him determines the message you receive.
(A Course in Miracles)

I remember sitting in an investment meeting where opinions on how to proceed  varied widely. Most participants looked concerned, some even grumpy as we wrapped up the meeting and realized we now had to put a presentation together. An investor sitting next to me said in a quiet, but determined voice, 'we can so do this'. I smiled, because I intuitively understood her statement marked the turn-around for our project. This was several weeks ago and our views have converged since. Our upcoming presentation will be fabulous. 

This is a perfect example of positive thinking. You don't have a pie in the sky attitude, but you let go of all the worries and concerns and you zoom into your upside case with iron focus. You really have a choice in this. Accept the offered hand of your sister and you will fare well. As irony has it, yesterday I reminded my colleague of her statement and she had no recollection. I wasn't surprised at all; apparently she had offered her helping hand subconsciously. When you talk to your sister next time, watch out for the golden opportunity she is about to offer. Reality is nothing but your decision about it, it is as simple as that!
