Let's Talk About Words

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." -Herb Albright    I don't care about annoying other people, but I would like to be the type of person that chooses to be positive even when faced with problems. And I do mean positive, not happy, since acting happy would be pretending. I want to look at adversity in my life with a glass half full attitude. There are times that I fall into the "why me" or "poor me" trap, yet I try to look at the positives . Negativity is a choice. Author Susan Marie Schulhof http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character." -Ralph Waldo Emerson         Life can be difficult. We can be confronted with illness and sorrow. Others can hurt you physically or emotionally. We may not be able to control other people nor control the circumstances that we encounter, but we can control our own response . We can choose to see the lessons in hard times. We can focus on the people who love and support us. We can look for the  positive in life .

      American Journalist  Sydney J Harris said that w hen he hears somebody sigh that life is hard, he is always tempted to ask "Compared to what?"   It is difficult not to complain when things happen in my life , but I am generally a positive person. I follow the  glass is half full type of philosophy, most of the time. I want to compare who I am today with who I was yesterday. I choose to look at how my life is going today compared to how my life was going yesterday. I ask if I am I growing and changing as a person? Am I following my passions and pursuing my dreams, no matter what life throws in my path? I do get down at times, but I pick myself up and try to only compare today to yesterday.
