Attitude

By

Practice being in charge of your own attitude on a daily basis.
-Angeles Arrien

Hello Me Club,
As we become more self aware on a daily basis we start to realize that we can choose peace, logic, understanding and solutions, or we can choose drama. Our attitude is the first step to THE NEXT STEP. Our attitudes are what either propel us forward or they keep us stuck. It could be as simple as waking up in the morning. If we choose a negative attitude, chances are the next step will also be a negative one, and we will watch our day progress into misery. If we choose a fearful attitude chances are the day will be surrounded by fear and stagnation. If we choose peace, logic, understanding and solutions then we are bound to have a day that propels us forward. I am not saying that there are not times we need to and deserve to cry and feel pain. Just remember that you are in charge of when you get out of that state. Sometimes joy is not immediately forthcoming. But peace can be. Peace is a resolution to make a resolution. Peace is a decision that “I am not done here, or stuck here… just visiting for a while till I move on.” Peace is sitting on your sailboat with no wind, knowing that the breeze to get you to your next step is just on the horizon.

Happy day, smooth sailing,
Shauna

    I love this Attitude piece. It is so true! Perspective toggles as easily one way as to the other and feeling positive and up is such a better feeling! I find if I am positive, I am more open to the opportunities that cross my path. Plus I think that more comes to me when I project a positive attitude.

    Thank you Shauna!

    You are so right Judy. I think that more opportunities are visible to you when you are positive. Truly I think they are there all of the time. But when we are negative it acts as almost a wall to seeing the opportunities for change, healing and peace. Thanks so much for writing!
