Who Motivates the Motivator?

I am often asked…

Who motivates the motivator?

Great question.

I am not naturally a positive person.

But I am a trained optimist.

Optimism is a skill. A muscle that needs work to develop.

I have to work extra hard to try and keep my mind in the right place.

This week I thought I would share one of my favorite affirmations from William Arthur Ward. 

I encourage you to read, internalize, ponder, and share this affirmation every day this week…and beyond. 

I promise it will make a difference.  

And it’s best if you read it out loud. :)
