“If I could sum up why I’m committed to the HR Girlfriends community it would come down to because we are ‘….in this together.'”

~Sana’ Rasul, Chief Girlfriend

Affirmation: I stay positive when circumstances seem grim.

Reality is more than just my perception. The truth is what I choose to believe about what I perceive. The eyes of my soul see clearly through the lens of faith, regardless of what my physical eyes see.

When the world around me gets grim, I stay calm because the eyes of faith allow me to see beyond apparent circumstances. Although I may initially perceive negativity, I find something positive in every situation.

A dead end to most people is the beginning of a new opportunity for me to be creative. My ability to have a positive attitude in times of crisis begins with inner peace.

I can be positive in the midst of grim circumstances because I focus on the lesson to be learned, rather than the price to be paid. I am thankful for the difficult moments in life because those are the ones that help me grow.

Today, I choose to be a ray of hope in the darkness by finding any trace of positivity and magnifying it.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  • What lesson can I learn from the situations I find myself in today?
  • How is perception a choice? What do I choose to see when I look at my life?
