Greetings!

Welcome to the Mindful Sur-Thrival Blessism for OPTIMISM!

The Dalai Lama once said: “Choose to be optimistic. It feels better.” There is a lot of truth in that quote because optimism really is a state of mind. You can choose to be optimistic or choose to be a pessimist. Every day gives us yet another wonderful opportunity to start shifting our mindset and thinking differently. That is the true power of a Blessism.

Here's another timely and relevant quote:

“There are so many difficult things we’re living through in the world today, so many horrible events, but we cannot let them stop us. No matter what happens, I feel you must move forward with optimism and not get totally sideswiped.” – Gloria Estefan
Welcome to a Year Full of Blessisms! We will post a new Mindful Blessism every day of the month. This month's theme is Mindful Sur-Thrival. If you missed the previous messages, links to the first 8 Blessisms were included in the January 9th weekly newsletter.

Blessisms Book Series
This is the first of 13 Mindful Blessisms books we will publish in 2022! We are preparing to publish the collections of Blessisms every month beginning as soon as possible in January. Then at the end of 2022, we will publish a compilation book with all 365 Blessisms. More details on our forthcoming programs and publications are available at our web sites. Mindfully Blessed
