	<description><![CDATA[&#34;Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. &#34;~ Norman Vincent Peale

Happy Day~Dreaming Tuesday everyone! For the past week or so, I&#39;ve been paying close attention to my attitude.  My attitude towards everything that I do on a day to day basis.  This is why I&#39;ve chosen to focus on &#34;attitude&#34; this week and why this quote from Norman Vincent Peale is so appropriate.  Because it really all comes down to our attitude about our lives when you think about it. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[&#34;What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability.  It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.&#34; ~ Tony Robbins

Anything is possible.  There is magic all around us and we have the power to tap that magic and let if flow through us.  All we have to do is get out of our own way . . . with our thoughts.  If we believe something is possible, then it surely is POSSIBLE!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[“Every great work, every great accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement comes apparent failure and discouragement” Florence Scovel Shinn

The quote above also influenced today&#39;s Day~Dreaming Tuesday message for the Dream Circle.  I came across it at the perfect time . . . like all things; we receive them at just the opportune moment.  For the past couple of days, I&#39;ve been feeling this new wave of change happening . . . a new SHIFT.  I went through one not too long ago and wonderful things happened in my life.  This time, it&#39;s an even bigger shift that seems to be coming to fruition.  So, it&#39;s no wonder that I&#39;ve been feeling a bit out of sorts lately.  ]]></description>

Aaaack! If you read my Dream Circle message for this Day~Dreaming Tuesday, then you know that the day was a bit of a struggle for me.  It was one of those days where I found myself having to reach for better-feeling thoughts on a constant basis.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Listen to the mustn&#39;ts child.
Listen to the don&#39;ts.
Listen to the shouldn&#39;t haves, the impossibles, the won&#39;ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen child.
Anything can be. 
-Shel Silverstein

Oh boy . . . So, I just found this quote from Shel Silverstein and I burst out crying. For those of you that might now know this, I cry a lot . . . and furthermore, I like it.  I&#39;ve been doing it since I was very young.  Like, you should have seen me when Mrs. Garrett left &#34;The Facts of Life&#34;! Even though I&#39;m pretty much a happy person nowadays, I still cry whenever I feel like it.  It&#39;s cleansing . . .]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#39;s been a week since my last post which included Elizabeth Gilbert&#39;s fantastic TEDtalk on Creativity.  Her video received quite a bit of a response and I&#39;m so happy that it got so many of you thinking and that it touched something deep within all of us.  I have taken my own prescription and I have seen that video every single day for the past week.  Thanks to the creative minds over at Apple, I have been able to see it and listen to it on my iPhone in the middle of a long commute, while walking the city streets and in bed.  After all of these repeated viewings, my daemon and I came up with the following:]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Here&#39;s my prescription for ALL CREATIVE PEOPLE (and well, EVERYONE): See this TED Talk by Elizabeth Gilbert at least once a day for a week. After that, start seeing it once a week for a month. After that, take it to once a month . . . for as long as you need to]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[&#34;I desire to take that definition [of Optimism] to heart and live those words on a daily basis.  To put the MOST FAVORABLE construction upon actions and events . . . NO MATTER WHAT!  To anticipate THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME . . . NO MATTER WHAT!  To SEEK and therefore FIND that damn silver lining because I know, I KNOW that it&#39;s there.  In every single thing that happens and comes my way.  I&#39;m gonna construct a big shiny O - made of pure golden magical threads - and this O will be my new window to view the world out of .&#34; ~ Gene-Manuel]]></description>

I absolutely LOVE this definition of the word optimism:

OPTIMISM: an inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events or to anticipate the best possible outcome.]]></description>
