Abundance is Everywhere

People often say that if only they were rich, THEN they would be happy, but in reality it should be said the other way around. They should rather say, "If I were happy, THEN I would be rich."

We are in the midst of so much abundance.


Positive Attitude Is Everything
Our success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.

You will probably know yourself from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, you're returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach, expecting a satisfactory result, normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If, however, you present an argument with an angry, accusing tone, expecting trouble, there is little doubt that this is what you'll get!


Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism which largely comes down to having a predominantly positive or negative attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something can't be done, they dwell on problems, see all the pitfalls, find fault with and criticise other people and focus on all the things they they would like but haven't got. People blessed with a positive attitude by contrast think that anything is possible, they look for solutions, they see the good in everybody and are grateful for all the good things in their lives.

Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude, this is not something that is imposed on us from the outside. We are very much responsible for our own attitude. We all start out with a 'clean' slate but this can get muddied by our experiences in life. As children we get ridiculed and bullied, criticised and rejected, start to experience doubt and lose our self-confidence. If this continues into adulthood, it can result in a downward spiral which fuels the fires of a bad attitude in later life.

However, there is a choice. The first step is recognising that there is a different way to view life. If you feel that a bad attitude is dragging you down, you need to start making a definite effort to see the positive in a situation. It may not be easy in every situation but just start off small. A step in the right direction may just be that you accept an unfortunate situation and move on rather than believing that everything and everyone is conspiring against you to make your life as difficult and unpleasant as possible. We all have moments like that, but luckily, most of the time, we soon see just how unreasonable these thoughts are.

Your attitude impacts on all aspects of your life. When faced with problems and setbacks in life, most peoples' first response is to complain and wonder why this had to happen to them. This is a natural response and one which might even cross the minds of generally positive people. However, in the face of adversity you must remember that you have a choice. You can wallow in self pity and do nothing but complain, or you can start looking for solutions to the problem and start moving on. We all know which is the best way, but sometimes we have to step back from the situation and consciously decide that we're going to take the positive route even if initially it doesn't come naturally. Everything gets easier with practice, even being positive!

The key to what sort of life you live is the recognition that you do have a choice. Everyone's circumstances are different but we all have this choice. Basically, life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
