Here are a some for today…
“Once we hold a belief, it tends to stick with us for the rest of our lives, unless we challenge it.” –Dr. Richard Gillett, Change Your Mind, Change Your World
“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” –Abraham Lincoln
The mind is a very strong thing isn’t it? We have so much power and control so why do we let ourselves be so unhappy? We are our own worst enemies!
I heard someone say the other day “Victims never go anywhere in life.” I don’t know who said it, I herd it in passing a couple of days ago. I heard part of the conversation and he was not talking about victims of a crime so please do not take offense to that. He was talking with someone else about someone he knows that always portrays herself as a victim to “society.” This person always has an illness, it’s always someone else’s fault, and everyone always lies to her but of course she never lies. I think everyone knows someone like this don’t they? I have to agree with his words that being a victim will never get you anywhere.
Have a positively positive day everyone!

I agree. I believe that being happy can be a choice that people can make....to work at it, to try to ignore the bad stuff, to embrace the every day joy around us. Of course it doesn't always work, but it certainly can make some bad days better:)
Absolutely. It's something I drive home with my children. You are only as good as your attitude :)
