Wendy's words for you......I hope you found some inspiration from this blog. We sometimes go through life without realizing how our negative mindset is effecting us. I think in many cases it comes as a shock to figure out exactly how negative we have been thinking, speaking or acting. It takes a conscious effort to change our thinking. Self awareness is crucial.
