Is Attitude Everything?

Staying positive is certainly more desirable than a "Negative Nelly" but does it make a difference in your day to day life? I say "yes" but I also admit that it is difficult, in the face of serious adversity, to stay positive and happy. Maybe the best thing is to concentrate on what you would like the outcome to be. Whether it be success, joy, healing or progress.

Taking the steps that will get you to those places generally doesn't involve berating anyone or complaining about your state of being. It does involve course correction and diligence. Find people that have achieved what you aspire to. It is a great way to start taking those first steps.

Something to try. Don't complain about anything for a full 7 days. This type of self-censoring can help you see what necessary critiques you are making and what has just become a habit of moaning about the world around you.
