Morning y’all!

We’re one day away from Friday so you know that you’re going to make it, right? “Stay positive” is something my father would always say and when I was young I didn’t really pay attention to how wise this principle really was.

Staying positive is incredibly hard to do! It requires intentional decision making for every facet of your life. Like, who you should allow inside your friendship circle (and who to keep out), the type of work you do, and even where you live (among many other critical components). Why? So you can be happy and create an optimal environment for positivity.

I’m working on it, every single day. I hope you are too.
