Lately, it has become very evident to me just how much of a battle it is to be positive on a daily basis. With the monotony of life it becomes easy to let our thoughts take over our attitudes. Until recently, I don't think I truly understood the connection between our thoughts and our actions. Whatever we let enter our minds will directly have an effect on our heart, and will be evident through our actions. Attitude is everything isn't it? Conceptualizing a positive attitude seems quite simple when things are going great, but the minute life gets hard it is easy to allow negative, self destructive thoughts to take over your being.
I believe we have the power to take complete control over our thoughts, so that our actions and deeds can be a blessing to others. Once you find how to break free from allowing negativity and judgement enter in, you will find it much easier to go through the day. Attitude effects our relationships, our jobs, even our own personal struggle with ourselves. This may sound cliche, but you are the only one who can control your outlook on life. There may be times where life happens, and it seems unfair, and it probably is. The hope is that we can learn to live in it and learn from it, trying to make every experience a stepping stone to growth and maturity.
The beauty of life is that we are always changing, always growing, and our attitude is the foundation to that growth. I can choose my thoughts, I have a choice to resist negativity. So now its your turn. What is your choice? What will you choose your outlook of life to be? What you choose will ultimately determine your happiness in life. It has nothing to do with circumstances or privilege, it has to do with the thoughts you choose to rule you. So, choose life. Choose happiness. Choose love.
