Attitude is Everything!!!

Have you ever noticed how attitudes are more contagious than a cold? Have you ever been in an incredibly good mood, and gone around someone that is negative and complaining all the time? They brought your down just being around them didn't they! On the other hand, have you ever been in a bad mood and gone around someone that is very positive and helped you find the positive side of your problems?  

Attitudes are very powerful!!!

Negativity is like a tree!  All it takes is a small "seed" of negativity to begin growing.  One negative thought leads to another, leads to another, leads to another, and leads to another.  Before we know it we have a small shrub growing all around us.  If we don't trim that shrub by choosing to focus on positive things in our life, the shrub soon becomes a tree.  That small tree soon grows into a large Redwood that we cannot seem to get away from the shade it casts over us and everything around us.  

Do not allow negative seeds to grow in your garden!!   

Focus on the positive in your life and see the difference it can make in moving forward and getting ahead.  Positivity doesn't grow near as fast as a negative seed will.  It is much harder to focus on positive things around us.  It's even harder when bad things seem to be surrounding us.  Look closely and think outside the box, and I bet you can find something positive in EVERY situation. 

Today's challenge is to find one positive fact in EVERYTHING that happens to you over the next 24 hours!!     

Let's see how much better you feel tomorrow by doing this. Who knows!!  Maybe attempt doing it each and every day to give yourself a break from the negativity around you.

 I bet you'll feel much better about your life!!
