Yep, even me, the professor of positive attitude, has some pangs of a down mood today. The slower economy is causing me to contract, and I feel it in my body when I give it my attention. Then, I was reading about some successful CEOs this morning and found myself COMPARING -  a slippery slope that can only lead to feelings of diminish self-worth. I caught myself, and shook it off, but wanted to take this opportunity to caution readers against the temptation to compare. The thoughts that spill out of that kind of thinking sometimes begin with “If only I’d…” The only way from there is down.
