The most effective way to prevent what’s bad is to promote what’s good. The best way to influence behavior is not to control and regulate, but to inspire and motivate.
You get more for your efforts when they’re applied in a positive direction. Instead of fighting against what you dislike, work to build and support what you value and desire.
The answer to despair is not to despise it, for that only adds to it. The answer is to overwhelm it with goodness and love.

Exactly! And I have to remind myself of this often. Don't focus on what I DON'T like, focus on what I DO.
Thanks, Mel!
