About This Quote

If you are overwhelmed by the sea of opportunities before you, simplify. Focus on the good. This is not to say that you should turn your back on the rest of the world, but rather focus on the good in each situation. You can’t look at everything with rose-colored glasses.

Sometimes, you have to look at things realistically. Yet, even when you are being realistic, you must view it with a positive slant. After all, focusing on the good will help you overcome all obstacles.
