Far too many of us are "driving blind," meaning, we aren't really clear about where we're going...and therefore might not be watching where we're going. As you go through the exercise of regularly revisiting the question, "Why am I doing what I do?" carefully tweak your answer until it is filled with enthusiasm, intelligent optimism, and joyful anticipation of successful outcomes.

You're actually in the driver's seat, whether you realize it or not. You're just a lot more likely to like where you end up if you have a clear picture and a focused determination about your joyfully anticipated destination.

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
--Hellen Keller

"With vision there is no room to be frightened, no reason for intimidation. It's time to march forward! Let's be confident and positive!"

"Vision without a task is only a dream. A task without a vision is but drudgery. But vision with a task is a dream fulfilled."

--Donald Zimmerman

"Happiness is a deep sense of flourishing, not a mere pleasurable feeling or fleeting emotion but an optimal state of being."
