Wear It Wednesday - Attitude is Everything

Do you realize the huge impact your attitude has on your life?

Attitude is more important than looks, youth, wealth, success, or power. You can have all these things and more, but you will find it very difficult to enjoy all you have if you embrace a negative attitude.

We all know people who seem to have everything, but they are never happy. They always have a long list of complaints and negative comments each time you speak to them.

There is only one thing that you have complete control over ... your attitude. You can wake up each day and treat it as if you have just been born. Nothing that happened before matters. It's a new day, and you have another chance to be and do your best.

A positive attitude can be cultivated. If you believe you can or you believe you can't ... you are correct.

One person has been a shining example of what a difference attitude can make. Mr. Mickey is always positive, smiling, and joking with everyone he meets. He has many reasons to not be that type of person, but he makes a conscious choice each and every day of his life to get up, get well dressed and face the day with a positive attitude and extreme kindness.


He has inspired me to look on the bright side for all of the nine years he has been in my life. I can attest that it makes all the difference in my health (both mental and physical), in my confidence, and in what I have accomplished.

We all have things that happen to us that break us and knock us down in life. Attitude determines what happens next.
