"It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen." --Herodotus

Motivator: Often those who point out problems r accused of negative thinking. Yet it's absolutely necessary to acknowledge the problems if u ever hope 2 make any progress. Constant complaining, whining and excuse making r certainly negative, but addressing the problem with honesty and clarity is very positive. If u attempt 2 stay positively focused by ignoring the negative u're simply not being realistic. When u can c and understand the negative aspects and then deal with them in a positive, forward looking manner, then u tap into the real power of positive focus. C the situation 4 what it is, and then take the appropriate actions 2 improve it.
