If you want to enjoy confidence, engagement, positive feedback, connection, and reward in your relationships, start being and doing what it takes to make it happen.

Create and nurture a mindset that works for you rather than against you.

Strive to be optimistic rather than pessimistic— forgiving rather than a grudge holder.

Strive to be a possibility thinker rather than an impossibility thinker.

Strive to be happy rather than downhearted or miserable—hopeful rather than resigned and doubtful.

Strive to be pleased and accepting rather than angry and resistant.

Strive to be daring and brave rather than reluctant or afraid.

Strive to be a proactive participant rather than a passive procrastinator.

Strive to be active rather than lethargic—determined rather than wavering or lazy.
