Quote of the Day: The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be.- William James
My Thoughts: I agree with this actually. It's almost the same as the glass half full versus half empty way of thinking. If we always think negative then that is all we'll see and sometimes be. But if we see the good in things, see the positive that can be then life will be better and happier.
Sometimes life is going to knock us down, if it doesn't then you're lucky. Because I've been knocked down. And is it easy to sit there and only see the negative, to just be content to sit there, yes. It is easy, the harder thing is to see past what brought me down in the first place. But once I see past that and think only positive thoughts, it's not long before I find myself standing again and continuing on. So learn to think how you want life to be. If you want to be happy then be happy, I know that's easier said then done. But try, remember life has its ups and downs, it's just how you deal with them that defines you.
