N is for: Negativity
What we focus on, we empower and enlarge.
Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity
multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours:
Which do we want more of? ---JULIA CAMERON

O is for: Optimist
The Optimist proclaims that we live in the best of
all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.
---James Branch Cabell

God, Grant me the maturity
to accept what I'm feeling
and the courage to correct
the actions that I took
that made me feel this way.
