Our attitude is the environment we carry with us during the day. It proclaims to the world what we think of ourselves and indicates the sort of person we have made up our minds to be. It is the person we will become. How's your attitude today? – Bob Proctor

People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives. - J. Michael Straczynski As long as we believe that someone else is to blame for our problems/difficulties, we are powerless to change. Forgiving helps us take back our power. Letting go of blame allows us to take responsibility for our lives. Forgiveness is an act of self-kindness. Choosing now to heal old unfinished business, completes the past. It's time to surrender your pain and set yourself and others free. This will change the course of your life. All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame others, it will not change you.

Live the miracle: Live and enjoy your life to the fullest. Remember how extraordinary even what you think of as ordinary, truly is! Carry forth an attitude of gratitude in all you do, always. For every miracle must not be taken for granted! This is your life. Live it. It is valuable. Make the most of it. If you desire more. Do something about it. Live the life you deserve! Make it great!Start NOW for life is too short! Begin by making TODAY a great day! Love, laugh, live!

Life's like a boomerang. The more good you throw out, the more you receive in return. - Josh S. Hinds The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little soon-to-be-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling. Remember...it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are making them feel good about you. A person who truly does things that count, doesn't usually stop to count them. Make things count! Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming. Start now! Make today great!

Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time.

The problem with most people is that they get so caught up with what they 'think" is or isn't happening to them, that they fail to see the things that actually are. It is important for us all to live our lives one day at a time, and realize that RIGHT NOW this is enough. Reflect on the past for what you have learned from it...but do not grieve over it for it is gone. Be careful not to let new opportunities pass you by while you sit idle thinking about the chances you may have lost. Look forward to what lies ahead of us in the future, but do not worry about it, for it has not yet arrived. Stop wondering about the future - create it. Life starts NOW, Live in the present, and make it so great it will be worth thinking about later. Instead of just making the best of every day, make the decision to make every day the BEST - it's your choice! Utilize the power of NOW to make a difference in your life. Be the example people want to follow, be the friend no one can seem to...

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. — Eckhart Tolle If we could all just focus in on "what we have" as opposed to "what we do not" and realize who we have become along the way, through all of life's lessons - we would all be happier, more confident people!

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. — Eckhart Tolle How do you turn your life around? Begin by developing an attitude of gratitude! As soon as you start to feel differently about the things in your life that you already have, you begin to realize and open the door for even greater things to come. Learn to not take things for granted. Life is too short to not count your blessings on a daily basis! Be thankful for all the things that are in your life. When a negative thought enters your mind, immediately replace it with something you are grateful for (roof over your head, love in your life, food on the table, etc..). Just as with learning anything new, it will require watchfulness and practice until a new behavior pattern is learned. Being mindful of changing your thoughts will eventually create an automatic response process with little effort, thus allowing more room for joy in your life. Learning to be happy while you are...

Let the difficulties that you face make you more determined to achieve your objectives and win against the odds. After all, difficulties are just things to overcome.
