Dwelling

I can't take credit for finding this quote. I found it on Vitamin G, but it really spoke to me, and I thought I'd share it.

Don't dwell on what you lack; dwell on what you have and use it to the fullest with gratitude. Don't dwell on your failures--learn from them and move on. Don't dwell on your fears or sorrows--dwell on your hopes.

--Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Childrens's Defense Fund, from her book The Sea Is So Wide and My Boat Is So Small: Charting a Course for the Next Generation


I find it really hard not to dwell on my failures, but I'm trying.
