Day 6: Believe

I’m not quite sure why, but this is one of my very favorite quotes. Maybe it’s because there’s a certain air of magic about it, or maybe it’s just because it’s pretty true.

Can you imagine how many optimists there would be in the world if everyone adopted this paradigm?

I want you to try and experiment for me today.

I want you to believe at every moment that something wonderful is going to happen to you.

When you’re in line at the grocery store, anticipate the wonderful.
When you’re helping a child who’s having a meltdown, believe that wonderful waits on the brink.
When you’re doing a million mundane chores, get excited for what is just around corner.
When you’re tired and exhausted and trying to cook dinner while helping with homework and maintaining a phone call conversation, let your heart spark with wonder for soon-to-be magic.

Whatever your moments bring you today on this simple Tuesday, choose to believe that something miraculous is coming your way.

I’ll take up the challenge too. Come back and comment tomorrow how it went, will you?

Let’s flood the world with optimism today friends!!!
