I hope to make a positive, productive contribution, as cheesy as that may sound.

I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life.

If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.

I'm totally into new age and self-help books. I used to work in a bookstore and that's the section they gave me, and I got way into it. I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go.

I really struggle with that feeling of helplessness. That's why I really try to get my blogs, and even myself, to point to the positive and look at all the inspiring things that are happening.

So there was a fire inside me. And that fire inside you, it can be turned into a negative form or a positive form. And I gradually realised that I had this fire and that it had to be used in a positive way.

There is a sense that things, if you keep positive and optimistic about what can be done, do work out.

The best thing to do when you find yourself in a hurting or vulnerable place is to surround yourself with the strongest, finest, most positive people you know.

Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.
