Attitude is Everything

  I often get asked the question, "Why are you so happy?"  And it always baffles me when people say this, because most of the time when people ask me this, they aren't asking because they want the secret to happiness, they are asking in an almost annoyed manner, as if it offends them that someone is happy and cheerful.  And I think to myself during those moments, "Doesn't everyone want to be happy?"  Yet, so many people live their lives in a complete state of misery, dragging themselves from one task to the next as though they gain satisfaction from being dejected and angry.  Personally, I don't want to be associated with that kind of attitude, and that's exactly what it is, an attitude.
  We can choose each day whether we will be positive and uplifting or whether we will be negative and deflating.  And believe it or not, your attitude is not determined by your circumstances.  You control your attitude, and you can make it as positive or negative as you choose.  There is nothing forcing you to be miserable, ornery, and discouraged.  Only you have the power to allow yourself to be that way.  And you have the power to choose happiness and positivity too.
  And if you aren't a super positive person now, it's ok.  You can change.  Start right now to pay attention to the thoughts in your head and the words that come out of your mouth, and begin replacing them with more productive thoughts.  For example, there are many days when I think to myself, "I'm tired."  But I try to not allow those words to come out of my mouth.  Instead I try to find other things to talk about or focus on.  You get what you magnify in life, so if you are always declaring, "I'm broke,"  you probably are broke and will stay broke if you don't change this negative attitude.
  Start today to begin replacing your negative attitudes and little by little you will become more positive, and as a result you will have a more positive life.  Your attitude is linked to everything from your health to your income, so make an effort to keep a good attitude.  It will be well worth your while.  Let's tackle this life together!   I can't wait to see you succeed!
