Our attitude is crucial

It’s up to you to find the beauty in the ugliest of days.

~ Author Unknown

 

find the beauty

 

Something to think about…

 

Rough times may be pouring in on us at the moment, and they may seem unending.  Difficulties appear to attract more difficulties, problems with loved ones, problems at work, problems with our appearance.  A negative attitude, something that we all struggle with at times (some of us more than others), is the culprit.

 

When the good times come, as they always do, they are accompanied by a positive attitude.  We do find what we look for.

 

Our attitude is crucial.  It determines our experiences.  A trying situation can be tolerated with relative ease when we have a positive, trusting attitude.  We forget, generally, that we have an inner source of strength to meet every situation.  We forget the simple truth — all is well, at this moment, and at every moment.  When the moments feel good, our presence is light, cheery.  When the moments are heavy, so are we.

Our attitudes shape our world

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Something to think about…

 

Meeting life head-on, with a smile, attracts people and situations to us.  Our attitudes shape our world — which is not to deny that problems do occur.  However, problems can be viewed as special opportunities for personal growth — as gifts, more or less, that we are ready to receive.  When the student is ready, the teacher appears.  the stumbling blocks we encounter push us beyond our present awareness.  They teach us that we are stronger and more creative than we’d thought.  Problem solving is esteem-building.

 

Negatively confronting the day is sure to complicate any experiences.  A simple misunderstanding can be exaggerated into a grave situation, requiring the energy of many people to handle it.  On the other hand, a patient, trusting, loving attitude can turn a grave situation into a positive learning experience for all affected.

 

We can beautify the day by smiling throughout all the experiences it offers us.  The epression of love to everyone we meet guarantees to make us more lovable in return.

I don’t know whether someone painted this pineapple or whether it’s a great photoshopped image, but I love it!
