Seen a good positive affirmation? Want to share it with someone who could use it? Here's your chance.
Here are a few for you.
No odds are too great to beat. (Shout out to Mom, who could easily defy the odds with her attitude.)
Nothing lasts forever, so any problem you're dealing with today can be gone tomorrow.

No matter what you do or don't do on any given day, as long as you learn something new, that day wasn't wasted.

If all you do in one day is make someone else smile, you are contributing.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you will land among the stars.
That one I saw on the wall in the 6th grade and it has always stuck with me.

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."

My father had a version of that: 'It is better to shoot for the moon, miss and hit an eagle, than it is to shoot for an eagle, miss and hit a rock.'

This is serious.
I like being a wimp, it keeps me out of trouble.

Someone you view as your enemy is never evil in their own eyes. Knowing this makes it easier to deal with them.

I hope the rest of your day is as nice as you've been this morning.
(Works both ways.) If the person has been nice, then it's a positive. If they've been an ass, it's a curse upon the rest of their day and everyone else who hears it will be trying their damnedest to keep from laughing.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?
