Squeaky clean optimist. Pollyanna. Naive. What do these words have in common?
Judgment.
I’m not advocating toxic positivity, and I’m not saying we should ignore the things in life that are difficult. I’m saying we have a choice in how we respond to the things in our lives. There is no reason to put a negative spin on our choice to stay positive.
Yes, you can.
You can choose to see the good. You can learn from the hard things that happen. You can grow, even when it seems there is not enough light shining upon you.
Stay positive.
Don’t judge yourself for moving forward despite worry or fear. Yes, it is ok and totally valid to feel all those feelings. Move forward anyway. Don’t worry about others thinking you are not grounded in reality. Acknowledge reality, and move on.
You will thrive.
Not in spite of the challenges, but because of them and because of your choice to stay positive and move forward.
It’s a lot easier to move forward when we are not alone. Find your people, stay positive, and know that you can survive and thrive, now.
These opportunities will help you by fostering connection, creating a structure, and keeping you in action. Time to be BOLD in your life and business!
