Positive Attitude

Sometimes in life I need an attitude check. My attitude is the soul determinate of my happiness. Like the story of the Fox and the Sour Grapes. The fox can’t get the grapes but it is up to the fox to decide his attitude. The grapes can be sour and not worth his time or the grapes can be sweet but he has to find another way. I don’t want my life to be sour grapes, so I comprise a list of quotes that help remind me why it is my attitude that makes my life happy, sad, successful, or etc. So anyone who needs a little pick me up read on.

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. "
~ Thomas Jefferson

Dr. Viktor E. Frankl
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts.... We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

W. C. Fields
Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

"Believe you can and you're half way there."
~ Theodore Roosevelt

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind."

W. Clement Stone
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

William James
Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.

William James
The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.

And my favorite of all!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
