Humanity is typically overburdened with negativity.\u00a0 Think about it – we’re stunningly subjected to it.\u00a0 Whenever you see the news, all the biggest stories are horrific.\u00a0 Shootings, terrorism, natural disasters… they all take precedence over the goodness of mankind, and the truly wonderful coincidences that we all take for granted.<\/p>\n
For me,\u00a0it seems as though life continues to improve after each day.\u00a0 It’s\u00a0common for someone to look at something, and see something with the pessimistic view.\u00a0 Sometimes it makes life easier for that person.\u00a0 If you’re expecting things to go wrong, they don’t hurt you as badly when they do.\u00a0 But if you strive for a better tomorrow – if you push toward that next goal, and I mean really push – it isn’t too difficult to see the good in everything.\u00a0 Every event is a learning experience.\u00a0 There’s not a single moment that passes in your life where you can’t stop at think of a way that it has improved your outlook.\u00a0 If you can’t find that lesson, you’re not looking hard enough.<\/p>\n
I recently spent a few days preparing my first novel for release as a paperback.\u00a0 I can tell you that I expected very little reaction when I first announced that I had hard copies available.\u00a0 It’s also my privilege to say that I have one of the very best support groups I could have ever hoped for.\u00a0 As I said, we take things for granted, almost all the time.\u00a0 I know that my friends and family, and even people I hardly know\u00a0at all,\u00a0are absolutely wonderful.\u00a0 It shouldn’t come as such a surprise to me, but it does.\u00a0 I could never have moved forward at such a pace if it wasn’t for all the kind words of encouragement and interest in my work that I’ve received.\u00a0 I truly am blessed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
