"Life is a play. It's not its length but its performance that counts.";

- Seneca

Life is like a performance. My life's journey helped me discover that. I could choose my actions. I could move forward instead of remaining stuck. I could develop a resilient, grateful mindset. How? I became aware that unpleasant situations and people can be seen with new eyes-from a new perspective. I began practicing simple mindful ways to react proactively and become a positive performer. This book reveals tidbits of wisdom based on my experience to keep you evolving into whom you are becoming-a positive performer. It's not the length of your life but your performance that counts!




Marilyn Gansel has a keen sense of what it takes to live a joyful and healthy life.
