Positive Attitude

 A joyful heart is good medicine. (Proverbs 17:22 ESV)

 Choosing a positive attitude is a process. We don't just choose it once and expect everything to be perfect from that moment on. We will still experience setbacks, delays, accidents, frustrations, arguments, fatigue, and fear.

 The secret is how we choose to react to these experiences. Do we want to let them ruin our day, or do we choose to pick ourselves up and look hopefully to the future again? We do have the power to choose.

 By choosing a positive attitude each day, we are actually attracting more positive experiences, and reducing the likelihood of negative experiences. You may have noticed that each experience often determines the quality of the next experience, causing a chain reaction in our lives.

 If one little thing goes wrong, it can throw off our plans for the rest of the day. In this context, it's easy to see how a positive attitude would be powerful.

 Rather than allowing one little thing to ruin our day, we would be able to shrug it off and continue on without a hitch. —Author unknown [1]

 When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. —Max Planck
