“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.” Pope Saint John XXIII (1881-1963)

 

The difference between the spiritually successful person and the one who is not is a positive attitude. If we focus on our fears, we will not have hope. If we look at our frustrations, we will continue to be frustrated. If we are convinced that we are failures, then we will not be able to achieve anything. The negative thinking trap is so easy to fall and stay in. However, if we approach life with a positive but realistic attitude, then the possibilities are as endless as the universe. The difference is whether we focus on the mud after a storm or the blue sky.
