Attitude is everything

A positive attitude can be many things. 

Positive attitude is the cause of success and happiness. A positive attitude helps you cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worries and negative thinking. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of life, become optimistic, and expect the best to happen. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth developing.

A positive frame of mind helps in a lot of ways, such as:

• Expecting success and not failure.
• It makes you feel inspired.
• It gives you the strength not to give up.
• You regard failure and problems as blessings in disguise.
• Believing in yourself and in your abilities.
• You show more self-esteem and confidence.
• You look for solutions, instead of dwelling on problems.
• You see and recognize opportunities.

A positive attitude leads to happiness and success and can change your whole life. If you look at the bright side of life, your whole life becomes filled with light. This light affects not only you and the way you look at the world, but it also affects your whole environment and the people around you. If this attitude is strong enough, it becomes contagious. It's like radiating light around you.

Thoughts are magnetic and thoughts have a energy.  Everything sent out returns to the source – you! When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you  The Best is Yet to Come!

What does a positive attitude mean to you?

My hope

  I wish you peace, prosperity, health and great Happiness this holiday season and during the year ahead. Thank you for your love, support and comments.

One Word

There is a book called, "One Word That Will Change Your Life" by Dan Britton, Jimmy Page and Jon Gordon. One word is a simple concept, lose the long list of resolutions, wish lists, promises to change and do something about one thing this year instead of nothing about everything. Instead of creating endless goals, the authors found one word that would be their driving force for the year. Just one word. Choose one word that represents what you most hope to accomplish and who you want to be. 

I thought is was a brilliant idea. Focus is what gets over the elusive barrier of overwhelm so we can concentrate, see and participate in the process of transformation. 

Best of all, anyone and anytime can discover their word for the year. I did this past August.

My word is Purpose:

I realized I wanted to do more things with intention and be intentional about my life, my decisions and health. I knew I was going to be busy traveling, being involved in a variety of projects, volunteering and  keeping up with three different schedules. By focusing on my purpose of why I do what I do and that it has meaning helps me face up to the difficulties and overcome hardship. What I do matters.  

For me, having a sense of purpose means having clear goals that fit into my wider life story, so that what I do holds meaning and direction.

Let your journey to a healthier, happier life begin. Thank you for listening.
