{Attitude of Gratitude...}

 "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

 

“The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.” – William James

The Power of Attitude

{from Motivational press}

Maybe you see the glass as half full, maybe you see it as half empty – but the truth of the matter is that the glass is filled to the halfway point either way. Your perspective doesn’t physically change the amount of water in the glass, but it sure does change the way you feel about the water.

Choosing to think and react positively to exterior circumstances really can change you from the inside out. Practice may not make perfect, but it will certainly help. If you start trying to see the positive side of each situation you face, you’ll soon find an optimistic approach comes naturally.

Learn to embrace change, and you’ll begin to recognize that life is in constant motion, and every change happens for a reason. When you see boundaries as opportunities, the world becomes a limitless place, and your life becomes a journey of change that always finds its way.

"....Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst…a spark that creates extraordinary results."

 amen eh!
If I keep telling myself all these things.... life will be better all around, my attitude will change and I will be a better person because of it....
just as each of us would be if we tried a little harder to be a little better small steps = big changes...
