BFG19 Monday Motivation

Hi, there. Welcome to this week's inspirational quote. This week's quote comes from Helen Keller, who was born in 1880 in Alabama. And within two years of her life, she became deaf, mute, and eventually blind by an illness. And her parents had a great deal of foresight. She employed Ann Sullivan to teach Helen how to communicate. And she went on to a profound humanitarian in those years and went to college and graduated with her degree. Helen Keller's quote is, no pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new doorway to the human spirit. Now, I think she's talking about, you know, obviously she's talking about pessimists and optimists and having a positive mindset versus a negative mindset. And the data is absolutely overwhelming whether you want to be a phenomenal leader. Anything that you want to achieve in your life requires a positive mindset. And the neuroscience is overwhelming as well. That backs up having a positive mindset compared to a negative mindset. And it just works. Being a pessimist doesn't particularly serve you well. Worrying doesn't serve you well. So have a think about, you know, changing your lens. If you're going down a route of, you know, over catastrophizing stuff that's happening in your life right now, just hit the pause button and think about the difference. Reframing that situation into a more positive mindset and the impact that that can then have. Everyone that's ever achieved anything in their life that's worth having has come with sacrifice, great determination, and a willingness to succeed. And Helen Keller is a fantastic example of someone that portrayed this right throughout her life. I hope you've enjoyed this week's quote, and I look forward to sharing next week's quote with you. Have a great rest of your week. Bye for now.
