Are you a warrior? If so, what is your battle?

"The Warrior" 18" x 18" Oil on Canvas

The fearless winged warrior is poised for battle with its head held high in determination. Like this character, we are faced with battles that we don’t always choose and yet have to face them with the courage of a warrior. A true warrior is not immune to fear; a true warrior is the one that is not paralyzed by fear and presses forward regardless of how improbable the victory might seem to others. In his heart, the true warrior is not a mere survivor, but a conqueror that inspires others through his fight.

Send me an email, let me know what's your battle.

Surround Yourself with Optimism

Often times we find ourselves in situations that are difficult, but if we surround ourselves with optimism, challenges tend to get solved with less stress. Sometimes we feel like all the doors are closing in front of us, but we need to keep a positive attitude and understand that the right doors will be open for us. I love an expression I heard from Dr. Wayne Dyer, which says: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change". What a powerful message!

Now that so many of us are affected by financial challenges, some of you might be afflicted by some health issue, now is the time to keep our heads up and trust that things are going to be better. Optimism alone does not change things, optimism-induced action is the key. So make a commitment today that you will surround yourself with optimistic people, be of encouragement to others when they are feeling down and I assure you that you will be able to live a happier life, full of victories.
