Positive Attitude - Life Choices




By Terry Orr

 Life is about choices – each choice has consequence’s – good and bad – we need to make those decision –our attitude while making those decision are critical in the thought process – and have a positive attitude certainly helps to make the right decision more often. 

Last year, our article “Positive Attitude – Can Do” focused on the importance in thinking positive (http://kisbyto.blogspot.com/2012/10/positive-attitude-can-do.html).  

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.” Walt Whitman

“Life is a bowl of cherries. Some cherries are rotten while others are good; its your job to throw out the rotten ones and forget about them while you enjoy eating the ones that are good! There are two kinds of people: those who choose to throw out the good cherries and wallow in all the rotten ones, and those who choose to throw out all the rotten ones and savor all the good ones.” C. JoyBell C.

“What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity.” J. Sidlow Baxter

“Always strive to aim for the highest peak of the goals in life you have set, this way if you manage to reach even half way toward a goal, landing in the middle is not such a bad place to end up.” Victoria Addino

“The worst disability in life is a bad attitude.” SupaNova Slom



Wake up Early ~ One of the best ways to help you maintain a positive attitude is to create the habit of waking up early.

Exercise ~ Very few things in life leverage your time as much as exercise.

Plan Your Week and Day ~ Having a clear plan to your day and to your week can go a long way to helping you maintain a positive attitude.

Understand that Things Won't Always Go as Planned ~ If you plan and expect everything in life will go as you planned, you will be quickly disappointed.

Be Thankful ~ Take some time and be thankful.



 Remember – wear your smile each day – maintain your positive attitude – and enjoy each and every day of your life.

Make Up Your Mind Day

By Terry Orr

Make Up Your Mind Day is a very decisive day. All during the year, you've put on hold, many issues and decisions. Eventually, they need to be resolved and decided upon. Well, today is the day. It's not a day to procrastinate. It's not a day to put off making a decision. If you are going to make up your mind this year, you'd better do it real soon. And, when you think about it, isn't it a great idea to clean the slate in advance of the New Year!? [Source: Holiday Insights]

It's about making up your mind and sticking to it. It's time to stop being indecisive and make up your mind. No more putting off your decision, today's the day to finalize your thoughts and take a stand! Just remember- making up your mind makes life easier. [Source: Gone Ta Pott]

I recently went through a long drawn out process of buying a new car –actually I was looking to replace both of ours – ended up only replacing one.  Dealerships and manufactures are not helping themselves in building loyalty and establishing any trust between the auto folks and customers.  It took several days to finalize a decision that would normally take a couple of hours (ugh). Google search returned over 550 million hits on this topic – very interesting…

Personally, I’m of the mind set to gather my facts and make the best decision at that time. ‘Life is just too darn short to fret about things’ – was what Granny told us as kids.
