Example of Shifting a Quote

Quote by Earl Nightingale - "Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.

Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."

I am all about finding the sunny side of a day—the sunshine behind the clouds.

I truly believe that if I focus on the positive, I'll genuinely have better days than not.

BUT, if I’m realistic, yuck happens, and not every moment contains smiles and happiness.

So I’m gonna shift from "Learn to enjoy every moment of your life" to "Learn to be present every day."

Instead of "Every minute should be enjoyed and savored," shift to "Savor whatever comes my way and soak in the wisdom of the moment."

Or better yet...I will be present today and soak in the wisdom along my journey.

After all, I’m only human.
