While everybody else is focused on being present, she's taken it a step further and made a practice of being Positively Present. What is being Positively Present? It's a heightened state of being in the moment geared towards happiness and creation. When you're already happy and having fun it is precisely the moment you will attract and bring extraordinary people, opportunities, ideas and circumstances into your life. On the flip side, being discontent pushes away everything that is in line with the good stuff we want because we're a magnet for the exact opposite. Dani Dipirro is well-versed and studied in being Positively Present.
