What does being positive mean? One of my favorite quotes is by motivational speaker and legend, Zig Ziglar, “An optimist is a person who will use his last dollar to buy a money belt.”

Sure, there are circumstances that happen to us that are out of our control but most of the time , our disasters are self inflicted.
