Something Powerful: A Good Attitude

It is a fact that actions speak louder than words. You may think and say that you are this and that; however, what truly matters is what you do, what is evident to others, what you show to the world—your true colors, your essence—what you're made of. Your attitude will always speak louder than anything you say about yourself. Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."?If your words do not align with your actions, and vice versa, you are fooling others and yourself, too.?

"One of the most powerful things you can do for yourself is to choose a good attitude."

As a human, you're inherently imperfect, just like everyone else in this world. The good thing is that you have the power to choose a good attitude, one that supports you rather than hinders you. This attitude can be your ally, empowering you to navigate life's challenges and relate to others more effectively.

Of course, you will not always have a positive attitude; that is not feasible for any human being. What is feasible for you is to work at improving your attitude. Life's experiences—challenges, successes, failures, triumphs, difficulties, defeats, achievements, and all the ups and downs—are excellent teachers to learn from, improve, and grow through life; this is how you go from good to great to excellent. While perfection is not attainable for any human being, you can make it a goal to be a person of excellence. ?

"A good attitude can make you strong, courageous, confident, content and a joy to be around."

Remember, life is about the choices you make every single day. While some choices require minimum thinking and effort, others are more complex. Being diligent, disciplined, and dedicated to making your life great takes much work, so do not let things happen to you; go out and make things happen for you.

As you embark on a journey to improve your attitude, you will reap the rewards of all your efforts. A good attitude can make you strong, courageous, confident, content, and a joy to be around. Plus, it positively impacts your physical health and makes your brain happy.
