I have to admit that like most entrepreneurs I'm an optimist.  As an optimist, I have two choices: 1) I can watch the news every day and get depressed because everything sounds so negative, or 2) I can create my own reality, which is based on my inherent optimism.  I definitely choose the latter.  In this holiday season, my wish is that we all focus on how fortunate we really are to have the ability to choose our destiny.  It's not always an easy path, but no matter what life throws at us (and I've had some really awful things thrown at me over the years), we still can choose how we deal with it.  When you have the choice of sitting around and bemoaning your fate or doing something about it, I take doing something every time. As a great believer in Karma, I figure whatever I give out eventually comes back to me, so if I remain optimistic, things are going to turn out just fine. Join me in spreading a little optimism this holiday season.  Happy holidays to all of you!
