The Importance of Positive Thinking in 2009

CLEVELAND - We live in a very challenging world and often face circumstances that could bring us crashing down.

That's why we need to stay positive.

The year 2009 has finally arrived and it offers us a clean slate to make right things that we're able to change. Most people don't realize it, but the number one thing that we should change is our perspective and thinking. Sure, sometimes very bad things happen to us that we think are unfair. The truth is, we need to take ownership of more things than we do and trust me, our lives will change for the better because we stopped looking for folks to blame other than ourselves.

President-elect Barack Obama could have used a ton of excuses as to why it would have made perfect sense to NOT run for president. If he would have lost the election to John McCain, he stated months before election day that "it wouldn't have been because of [my] race. It would be because [I] didn't do [my] job."

No excuses.

Our economy is in an embarrassing free fall and is adversely affecting us all. But with faith comes strength and with strength comes resilience, and with resilience... well, let's just say that if we take care of business, I mean TRULY take care of business, we'll be alright.

Life is what you make it.
