What Is It That Makes You Special ? It's Your Attitude!

There is a story of a certain organization offering a bounty of $6,000 U.S. for gray or red wolves captured alive for relocation to different national park areas.

This announcement turned Jake and Jed into fortune hunters. Day and night, they scoured the mountains and forests looking for their valuable prey. Exhausted after a long day of fruitless tracking, they feel asleep dreaming of their potential fortune. Suddenly, Jake woke up to see that they were surrounded by about 70 wolves with flaming eyes and bared teeth. He nudged his friend and said, “Jed, wake up! We’re rich!”

It’s all about one’s attitude!

There is a wonderful quote that I came across that says, “Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes through which we see reality.” The bottom line is this, the way that anyone of us view a situation determines how we will experience it. It is easy to see a taxing situation as being all bad, but if we can notice the good things in an adversity, it can help us not only get through it, but also get through the tough parts.

So where do we begin? The starting point is with our thinking and the attitude we possess within our mindset.Positive thinking is a mental and emotional attitude that focuses on the bright side of life and expects positive results. A being with positive thinking habits anticipates contentment, pleasure, enjoyment, health and success, and believes that he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty. Having a negative attitude keeps us from being joyful and impacts those whom we interact with. Numerous studies have concluded that having a positive attitude has a direct connection with our personal happiness and levels of success.

So how do we go about developing a positive, optimistic attitude? Commence with making small adjustments to your daily routine, personal actions and habits.
