Quote:Crazy as this may sound, but each of us has the ability to ruin our day, day after day, when we only focus on the negative.


We can be mindful of the downside, but to focus on the negative does not allow the positive much room to change our mind and thus our state of being.


Who truly enjoys being in the presence of negative people other than negative people?


Thus negativity is kind of like a cancer that can spread from person to person.


In fact, negativity is the one means by which people are controlled, because it is so easy for people to turn negative.


And like war, one has to question what is it good for?


As far as I can tell, "absolutely nothing."

Well, we have won only, what, 12 games over the last 3 years? If we had been to the playoffs the last 3 seasons, I don't think there would be as much pessimism. But, I'm getting pretty tired of picking in the top ten just like everyone else. I even miss the Garrard days, as sad as that is, because atleast we looked like an nfl team back then.


I am staying optimistic, but keeping my expectations very low (5-6 win). Joeckel, and Cyprien on the other side of the ball, need to step it up this season. Joeckel plays one of the most important positions in football, so it is very key that he shows us something this season and gives our potential franchise qb some time in the pocket. As of right now, I view him as the weak link of the line.
