Be encouraged, and nurture a positive attitude-every day.

Live Your Life 3 Words at a Time was not hard to write. The difficulty is trying to live that way every day.

We all have bad days, so it is vital to make a decision now on how to respond to challenges so that when the time comes, we have a plan that will help lessen the negative impact on our lives.

Author Marv Loucks believes it is important to have a solid, positive plan for dealing with life's challenges, be it certain people or events that don't happen exactly how or when we want. We must be intentional about looking for the positive and the good first and working from there.

Live Your Life 3 Words at a Time is a toolkit to do just that. We all fall short, but we should be thankful for the opportunity to keep practicing. Our words can have a powerful influence on others. They can inspire, and they have the potential to even change a life. Be encouraged, and encourage others, just as we are instructed to do.

"Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

(1 Timothy 5:11)
