All too often, our news, social media feeds, and even our conversations with friends and family are centered around anxiety-filling and rage-inducing content. It can be so difficult to believe good things happen every day when the things reported or shared are examples of the worst humanity has to offer. That’s why we started Real Positive Vibes. We wanted to create a haven inside your inbox to share some good news with you. We hope that while you read our newsletter, you can recharge and feel refreshed.

How to measure success even when things aren't going your way
Sometimes, despite our best intentions and planning, things go wrong. Sometimes we fail due to circumstances entirely out of our control. Winston Churchill once said, " Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."
What did he mean by that? I took some time to really sit with this quote, and here's what I think. Sometimes we get mad and frustrated. Circumstances push us to the brink of throwing in the towel, and at the moment we chose to press on to bring our vision or dream to life -- that moment is the real success. Stay with me; it is much easier to keep doing something when you are winning, when the stars align, and everything is going your way. It is very hard to take something that is broken or unfished and fight with it to make it right -- to turn it into what you know it can be.
So here is your homework this week; the next time you feel like giving up on your vision and you don't. You press on anyway; take your victory. Sure, when it finally works and comes together just as you knew it would, that is a victory too. But I can guarantee that it will be sweeter when you remember every chance you had to give up and dug in instead.
Email us and let us know how it goes. We may feature you in a future issue.
