If you think you can – you can !
If you think you can not – you can not !
And either way……..you are right !
“Make your morning great. Wake up to something that makes you happy and the rest of the day will follow suit. When you wake up, try to spend a few minutes looking outside of your bedroom window. Having a connection with nature, or starting your day in a self-affirming way, are very important to having a bright and positive outlook.” Source
NOTE: It almost sounds too good to be true. It is. The attitude we take to the day is the attitude that will guide our thoughts and actions throughout the day. Why choose to be a hot burning coal when you can be the sunshine? One will drag you and all around you down. The other will lift you and all near you up. Shine On!!
“Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.”
“I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.” Abraham Lincoln
When we give our best it may not turn out the way we want it to turn out; it will, however, turn our for the best. Don’t doubt, don’t look back, give the present moment your best and do it again for each of the following moments and your life will be filled with purpose.
“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”
~ Khalil Gibran
“Things do not always happen the way I would like them to happen, and I had better get used to that.”
~ Paulo Coelho
“Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Life is going to happen to us, there’s not much we can do about it. The wise ones tells us it’s the attitude we take toward what happens to us that makes all the difference. The attitude and actions we take toward events in our life leaves an indelible mark on our character. We have the freedom to choose our attitude and actions. Choose those attitudes and actions that inspire you and those who observe you.
“Things happen along the way in our path. Instead of looking at it as a wall that’s being put up in front of us, look at it as as opportunity to scale new heights and to climb that wall – to see and do things you didn’t think you were capable of (Robin Roberts).”
Each of us faces challenges. They wait for us around the next corner. The attitude we take to our challenges makes all the difference in determining the success we’ll have when we face them. If we see it as an opportunity and learning experience we have a chance to succeed and grow. Whatever challenge you’re facing, you’re stronger, tougher, and wiser than the challenge.
“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome (William James).”
