I spoke to some friends this week about living in possibilities - not probabilities. That, in life, we need to spend a little time contemplating the "what if" and "how can I' vs. listening to all of the people who will tell us how "it can't be" (and there are TONS of those people out there).

It's very much like the "Little Engine That Could". We all know the story - none of the other engines thought that the small, old, engine could pull the cars up the hill. No one but the little engine herself (and she had some doubts). It wasn't probable....but it was possible. She started up with "I think I can, I think I can" and came back down with "I knew I could, I knew I could." The little engine made it up and over through sheer possibility and the realization of her potential. If we spend more time working on what is possible vs. what is probable there will be NO LIMITS on the GREAT things that will come our way!

When it comes down to what really matters, the level of your optimism and the depth of your personal relationships count more towards your happiness than any other factor. With all that is going on in the world I, personally, don't think there has been a better time to be more optimistic or happy. Do you? Don't wait! Connect with the people you work with today. Increase that level of optimism and the depth of those relationships. Let's face it, it's not a dress rehearsal, it's the only life you have. Live large, be in charge!
