“If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.” ~ John R. Miller

It takes a positive attitude to make it in life.

Take a couple of minutes today to think about your circumstances, and look at your attitude from a fresh new perspective. Do you focus more of your time seeking solutions rather than staying absorbed in the problem? Do you look for the best in every situation, and the opportunity in every problem? Or are you an old “NO-it-all”?

What are you telling yourself when your “self-talk” cuts loose? Is it mostly positive… or frequently negative?
