Many years ago I attended a seminar on Adventures in Attitudes, which at that time, made me very aware of the dynamics of positive and negative attitudes and their results.

A positive attitude, can be your choice and mine.To change your attitude is to change your life. 

Dr Viktor Frankle writes, "The last of the human freedoms, is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." James Allen, long ago wrote the wonderful little book titled, "As a Man Thinketh," where he compared the mind to a garden, pointing out that the garden will always bring forth what is planted there. "If no useful seeds are put into it," he wrote, "then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind. So may a man tend to the garden of his mind weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts and cultivating toward perfection, the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts.  By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals within himself. The laws of thoughts, how the thought forces, and mind elements operate in the shaping of his character,

circumstances, and destiny."

Marcus Aurelius expressed it this way. "Your life is what your thoughts, make it."

Abraham Lincoln stated, "I discovered I always have choices, and sometimes it is only a choice of attitudes. One's attitude can make a big difference." 

Hugh Downs once said, "A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."

Attitudes are contagious. Let's make ours worth catching. In this day of change, a change of attitude can change one's life and be a very enriching experience.

Warm Thought: Gratitude is one of the best attitudes.

Have a great and grateful summer day.
