Go ahead. Tell me something good about your day. That’s what
the mother of Bert and John Jacobs (the youngest of six children) asked her
children at the dinner table each and every night. It was this nightly exercise that inspired
them to start their now
Read an article on the Internet today about the Jacobs
brothers and wanted to share some of that with you on this Friday before
Christmas. Why? Because basically it’s a feel –good story that I believe is
especially relevant at this time of year. It really puts things in perspective.
According to the brothers, the family often went through
troubled times, but the daily exercise of finding something good about the day
kept them energized and optimistic even when there was little to be optimistic
about. It changed their mindset and motivated them to start their company with
a mission to spread the power of optimism. Instead of focusing on challenges,
finding the good can bring with it new ideas, new ways of doing things, growth
and success. The company tag line says it all; “Life is not perfect. Life is
not easy. Life is good.”
On this day that officially marks one week until Christmas
Day, tell me something good and have a happy, healthy, safe and optimistic
holiday.
