What I've realized Kelley is that my attitude is a choice that I have to make daily...just like the choice I make to love my wife everyday and to make our beautiful marriage work.

Some days are tougher then others. In my opinion not only do you have to make that decision daily...you have to have people around you to help you guard your feelings and help you commit to that decision. Brothers in Arms if you will.

I have two people in my life that help me do that, my wife and one of my business partners. Each day before we open our business we pick an uplifting motivational song, stop what we are doing and just listen and focus on the words and message. We commit to each other that no matter what the day throws at us we will keep our focus. After the song is over the person that picks the song shares a positive feeling or thought and then we break.

It sounds corny...but that 5 minutes out of the day with those two people that are committed to the same thing I am helps me keep my focus and to stay sharp. It is also amazing the power that music has over our mood and emotions.

I always like to quote Master Yoda from Empire Strikes Back when he says to Luke: "There is no try or try not, only do or do not." when Luke is trying to use the force to lift his X-Wing fighter from the marshes of Degoba(sp?).

Anyway it's my hope that you are set free from your fears and anxiety.

Keep your chin up
