Nothing comes from nothing, and often the brightest outlooks come from some of the darkest places. It's simple to agree that it's good to have a positive mindset, but often much more complicated to embrace amid adversity. Erica Day embodies what it means to persist in choosing an attitude of joy, grace, and gratitude while channeling energy and enthusiasm to make a difference for the people around her. Remembering that we are human means acknowledging that not every day is going to be easy. So more important than a smooth and perfect journey is the ability to get back to the focused mindset that we want to cultivate. Rather than being frustrated or upset about circumstances, the perspective to be grateful for all that we have keeps us aligned. Resilience is not that we are never knocked down, it's how quickly we get back up.
