Positivity in Getting Back to Work Post-Vacation

Getting back to work after a vacation presents some unique challenges. After taking more than a week offline, I am finding returning to my regularly scheduled program a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. Why? I had a perfectly excellent time.

If you believe that the truth is the truth, you are right – but you are also wrong. This is because in many instances the truth is entirely dependent on viewpoint.

Do You Have a Choice?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You always have a choice.  Even when you decide not to choose, that’s still a choice. No matter what situation or experience you are having, good or bad, you have a choice.  Why?  Because you can decide how to think, feel, and act upon whatever happens to you.
