POSITIVITY - IT'S A WINNER ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT

"Life is a grand  party where no one gets to meet the host or stay to the end."  --- Robert Brault 

A very positive and optimistic point of view on life which I honestly don't get to hear often. But we do know by experience that life is everything but a grand ball. And yet, it can be the grand party you may wish it to be if you so choose it. Just a matter of attitude and a huge dose of positive thinking. That's what it said in a book I had recently read.

Life is tough as we hear it often said and as often as we have been told about it. Consequently we get to experience it ourselves as we get down to the real thing in our respective lives. While many would groan and whine going through the fire, there are some amazingly who would simply dance through the flames. And what may be the difference there? Yes, you're right, it's attitude... a positive attitude towards life.

And as I have learned, a positive attitude springs from a positive mind. But how does one describe a positive mind? I think it's one that believes in possibilities, in potential, in hope, in faith, and in believing that there is ONE up there who cares what happens to you down here. So if HE CARES, what could hold you or us back from anything good?!

An ounce of positivity is a pound of _________. So you fill in the blanks according to what positivity did for you. Maybe somebody out there needs to hear it. :-) Pass the positivity around. It's a winner any way you look at it.

(Thanks, Mr. Quote Man, for the quote. And thanks to the internet for the wonderful images.)

Blessings, everyone!

PESSIMIST or OPTIMIST -- Which is it going to be ??

Beautiful as life is, it can also be hard. Challenges buffet our journey at every covered mile, with every soul we meet, with every situation we get ourselves into, or with every station we pass. It can be wearying at times. But when the heart is primed to look to the brighter side of things nothing can bring it down. It rises to the occasion maybe at times dragging its feet but still doggedly determined to make it through. A heart which has learned to see and understand that with every sunset comes a sunrise, a long sad night will wake up to a new dawn of possible surprises and blessings, and that Somebody up there will make things right... will walk confidently in the light of hope, faith, courage and strength.

Life is beautiful, no matter what others may say. True, life is not without its challenges but that too is part of the package. Challenge is a friend, not the enemy. It's there to prevent us from being complacent when we become too comfortable where we are. And it's there to nudge us to grow some more.... ferreting out our true potential as intended in the Divine Design.

That being said we are given two choices by the universe. Simple choices. But we can only have one or the other, not both. Whatever the choice we make will define the life that we live.... will define who we are.... will define our relationship with our God.

Pessimist or Optimist..... who are we going to be, which handle are we going to use in and with life.

An optimist is hope-full. An eternal flame burns steadfastly in its heart.
A pessimist thinks hope-less. Its flame never gets to rekindle itself.
Life is short -- choose the right one for you.
