How many times have we written about attitude, but, do we really get it, do we really see, that it is controlled by us, by our minds and how we see things. Life gives us good cards and bad one’s, but, attitude we give ourselves, and nobody else, we cannot copy the attitude of another, and we cannot make up an attitude to suit ! You wear your attitude on your sleeve, wide open for the world to see, but we fight it with letting our minds play naughty tricks, if we have good cards or not, we can still have good attitude, our attitude cannot go by the way our cards are played…. if we lose everything, do we stick with a lost attitude, where we can feel sorry for ourselves and stay in a dark place, if that was your choice, what comes next, you just sit and wait……for what ? Now you may have some bad cards, but, your attitude is good and healthy, determined to improve, cannot you not see that eventually you could come back to the light and leave that lost dark place behind. This is not easy, but it is not impossible, we are always told that someone, somewhere is in a far worse a place than us, and sadly to see this we only have to watch the news… everyday, at first you may not be interested in that other person, you are so involved with yourself, ….we are good people so at some point we do see what is going on around the world and even around us, and this is when we should start to react, no matter what your situation, you have to start to make the best of it, if you truly want a worth while life, no matter how hard or unfair you wish to see this, your attitude will make all the difference to how you feel and your ability to react, when we are down, as far as we can go, there is only one way, and that is up, one step at a time, there is no time to feel sorry for ourselves, that will not resolve anything, the more sorry you feel for yourself, the deeper you go.

This quote above, really is true, your attitude towards your adversity, whatever it may be is what will serve you best, when we hear of miracles, attitude has a lot to do with it, how will you react when you have no home, bad health, a broken heart ? the reasons are numerous, and we have to accept that fact, it is not going to go away, we have to accept and allow this into our life, but we do not have to agree, we can still move forward, in a different way depending on your circumstances, but until you accept this new circumstance in your life, you will be stuck, and this is not a good place to be, you cannot put your head into the sand and stay there, you may have people who depend on you, and above all, you deserve for yourself, your own worth, to enjoy your life as much as possible under your new circumstances and your attitude towards this, is what will help you get there. Your attitude is the best friend you have, how you engage in this and react will be the forecast for your future. I know that many of you may feel that it is not possible to know what another goes through, and I do not deny you that, but nobody knows what others have been through either, what we are sure of is that we all deserve a moderate good life and we are responsible for that with our attitude and nothing else, bad times, good times come and go, everything can change from one day to the next, and not everyone is an expert on handling these situations, we all do that in our own way, but attitude is the secret to moving forward and bouncing back. 

Never give up …………………
