The Power of Positive Attitude

Submitted by Kate on January 27, 2008 - 10:27am.

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
W. Clement Stone

With the right attitude we can overcome almost anything that life throws in our path. It is our choice whether we approach life’s challenges with a positive attitude or conversely view every opportunity with pessimism. It is our choice; the power is in our hands.

The next time you are faced with a challenge that appears insurmountable, what will your attitude be?

I use this for those challenges that appear insurmountable, or those situations where something has happened to throw me into a very negative sort of mood. It's a mantra I picked up (sounds very serious that doesn't it) from the maharishi phucknuckel (for those that don't believe me, look at boreme.com and enter maharishi in the search box).

I use this to cheer me up. Doesn't matter how many times I use it, or whether I say it out loud,or just think it, it still works. It goes like this.

Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in his shoes.

That way, when you judge them. They're a mile away. (I'm chuckling now btw)

And you have their shoes.
