ATTITUDE
Your attitude can make or break almost any situation.
It is the energy you bring into the room. You can have a positive attitude about the events in your life , or you can come from a place of complaint and misery. You decide. You can consciously choose to respond in a positive way to almost any event or circumstance-a positive attitude is simple a choice you make.
You can change your attitude and change your life.
Now we all know people with negative attitudes . They are the ones who constantly complain, whine , and moan. Nothing seems to go right for them. They are the perpetual victims in life. This is because they are operating at a lower frequency , and through the Law of Attraction they are attracting even more to complain about. The reason they tend to stay ”stuck” in their negative lifestyles is because they are constantly focusing their thoughts and energy on their negative present and negative past. By doing so , they are creating the same future over and over.
On the other hand , we also know people with positive attitudes-the ones who always seem to be happy , the ones who really seem to have a handle on things in their life. They are more fun , their energy feels great to be around , and they are operating at a higher frequency.
People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln.
Surround yourself with these positive , nourishing , uplifting people whenever you can. Spend your time with spiritually evolved people who encourage your growth and applaud your successes. Wrap yourself in a support network of inspirational people with positive attitudes and energy.

“The serenity of mind, gentleness, silence, self-restraint, and the purity of mind are called the austerity of thought.”

Have a super week, my friend, thanks for sharing this.

Beautifully said my friend and ditto oxox
August 9, 2010 at 6:52 pm
A lovely and inspiring post, Amanda… We don’t realize how much importance our attitudes hold… it is, like you said, the maker or the breaker in this game of life! A positive attitude can make the worst situation look better…whereas a negative attitude can make the best situation look not so great.
We all know which category you fall into! You are all about positivity and vigor and love for life! 🙂
LOOOOOVE YOU, sweet lady!
Stay thus, and enjoooiieee
I adore your grit and will … MWAH MWAH!!!
August 10, 2010 at 9:28 am

I had to reread this today. It seems I am being bombarded by comets of negativity the last couple of days. As always your wise words offer strength and I am so thankful that you have penned them for us to use! Thanks Amanda, I hope you receive many positive gifts this day! 🙂 ~Cindy~
August 11, 2010 at 6:13 am
I know that feeling, I have such a busy week and on top of all, starting an art course….why do we do these things to ourselves:)? I am playing catch up forever but it’s all good…I keep telling myself that tomorrow it will be better. That is why I need positive affirmations in my life too, it keeps me on track and I love sharing it with you my dear friend. Wish me luck, it’s been raining cats and dogs for the 2nd day in a row, and I have to be outa here soon:(:(:( Love yah xxxx
August 11, 2010 at 3:49 am
i so agree with you. its a big truth.
August 11, 2010 at 4:38 am
Lincoln quote paired with a Lewis song only compliment the message you are sending. I completely agree with you. Surrounding yourself with a positive outlook and positive people and great things will come to you. A big believer in the law of attraction as well as you reap what you sow. Events are just events. They are neither good or bad. People and their emotions make them good or bad. Turn a “bad” situation good and welcome in the positivity. Great Post!
August 11, 2010 at 6:19 am
Happy you loved it girlfriend, attitude means everything to me…Hugs xxx
August 14, 2010 at 8:33 am
Another great and uplfting post – thanks so much for sharing Amanda. You seem to inspire a lot of people – and you’re definately one of the positive people out there! Your positivity is contagious!
Happy days – and hope the sun is shining on you – despite it being winter (??) in Australia at the moment??
