One of the things I learned...

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself!

Good morning Paul. Lucille Ball was 100% correct. Spend your time being optimistic. There is not enough time, so don’t waste any being discouraged. Enjoy your day

Getting discouraged doesn't help us at all and when we do, we need to get over it quickly and get back to being optimistic.

Hello Paul - it doesn't pay to become discouraged but Lucille Ball obviously discovered that there is a valuable lesson learned when following the optimistic path.

Lucille Ball was a very smart and wise lady, Paul. I've learned that when "bad" things happen to give myself 15 minutes to be unhappy and then I move on.

Take care, be safe and have an outstanding week. We have more snowy weather in Maryland.

Hi Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS - Negativity east asway at our soul.  Lucy had it right. Be positive.  Give yourself a few minutes to digest bad news and then move on with positivity.
