Tomorrow, November 8, 2016, Americans will elect their next Commander-in-Chief. This election cycle has been especially tough for the candidates and voters, alike. For today’s blog I have selected some quotes which, hopefully, will motivate and reassure you when you head out to the polls tomorrow to exercise your right to help choose our next President of the United States.

Thoughts of the Day

      Every now and then I like (and need) to take a few moments and remind myself about what is really important to me, in my life. If you follow me on my Calminsense Hypnotherapy Facebook page you may have seen some of these quotes before on this page, or will in the future. Many of these Quotes of the Day are beautiful examples and illustrations of the work I do as a hypnotherapist, so I will probably draw on them in future essays.

• “The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.” – Walt Disney

• “If there is a solution to the problem, then don’t waste time worrying about it.” – Dalai Lama

• “The problem with communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished.” – George Bernard Shaw

• “Think like a man of action; act like a man of thought.” – Henri Louis Bergson

• “The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity.” – Winston Churchill
