I know counting down is very popular in launching spaceships. But in life, there's a downside to it. Sages say (certainly I didn't think of it) that counting up is a great method to employ in life generally. It is clearly more productive to focus on what we have accomplished then on what we have not. By contemplating and measuring our achievements we build self worth and a positive self-image, which fortifies us to achieve new and greater goals. Well, I thought I'd share the thought with you.
