You’ve Been Infected | Showers’ Blessing Inspires

Greetings,

One of my favorite childhood movies is Pollyanna. What intrigued me most about Pollyanna was her infectious optimism for life. She was able to infect an entire community and transform their attitudes in spreading a message of optimism and forward thinking. Now that is a great virus to catch and pass along!

What better way to kick the New Year off than to make a commitment that no matter what happens in 2016, you will always look on the bright side of the situation. Can you imagine how many lives would be positively touched if all of us decided to provide hope in what many perceive to be a hopeless situation.

Every day we’re inundated with one dismal report after another, which can evoke fear and paranoia. Fear paralyzes and prevents you from functioning with unbridled optimism that stops you from moving forward. This is a time to relinquish the haunts of the past and to move confidently forward towards those things that will catapult you to experience success.

As of 11:59 p.m., on December 31st, the year of 2015 begins its descent as a distant memory. All that can be done has already been done. It’s left behind with its milestones of memories for reflection at a later time. Once midnight ushers in 2016, new opportunities loom on the horizon. Yes, the nuances of this year will pass from 2015 to 2016. How you allow them to affect your mindset does not have to cross over into the New Year.

Operating in the peace and joy of God is what is going to get you through and allow you to maintain a healthy attitude for success. God has prepared us to face the vicissitudes of life with an optimism rooted in His Word. On every page of the Book of Life it insures us that we have a right to an abundant, prosperous, peaceful, joyful life and to experience success in everything we do.

I’m infecting others with the life-giving virus of optimism so they can move forward and overcome barriers that have prevented them from accomplishing everything they endeavor to achieve. Imagine if each of us make that same commitment how many negative forces can we put to flight, not just in our own lives and family but our society as well.

You’re infected! Infect someone else! Don’t let anything stop you from optimistically moving forward in 2016.

Have a blessed, prosperous and optimistically successful New Year!

Happy New Year!
