Everyday is an opportunity: an opportunity to try again, an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, an opportunity to make an improvement in your life.  Seize those opportunities every chance you can. It is so easy to live in the pain of yesterday, or be overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the future, that you can miss the promise of today.

Try and develop an approach of focusing on what you can do, instead of what you can’t. The more you do that, the more you will develop a positive, hope-filled outlook as you see how what you can do day after day, no matter how small, leads to a real improvement in your life and those you love.

Be strong and take heart, all who hope in the Lord. – Psalm 31:25
