Thursdays Choices

Good Morning Friends,

We have numerous choices for our lives and for the day. You have the choice to make your day what it needs to be. In choosing you help set your attitude for the day. Being positive is one of the best choices you can make; sometimes it's hard to see the positives before us. But when you make up your mind to be happy no matter what the day brings, the positives stand out so much more. I hope your week has brought you much happiness and joy, and that you work to find that today as well.

"The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. "

~ Charles Swindoll

A Constructive Attitude

Our thoughts are mental imagines that guide our actions. Our attitude is nothing but a bundle of thoughts that lead our life. A constructive (optimistic) or destructive (pessimistic) attitude has everything to do with the kind of thoughts we choose every moment.

Pessimistic thoughts make us negative and feel like losers – unable to excel and succeed in the great things that life has to offer. Optimistic thoughts paint a smile in our soul. They allow us see the bright side of life and find the appropriate answers and solutions for any challenge we face.

By altering our thoughts, we not only alter our present but also our future. Unless we understand what attitude is and take the right attitude, we will not be able to get any of what we really deserve.

In life, in everything we do, there is no second chance. Either we choose to lose or to win. You can do whatever you set your mind to, you can, if you believe it and perceive it. Set yourself to win, change your thoughts and therefore your attitude.

Have an amazing attitude journey ahead and take care of your thoughts. They are like babies that require our constant attention and care.

"Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity."

Thursday's laugh.......

Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would

say, "Edna, Id like to ride in that there airplane." And every year Edna would

say, "I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is

ten dollars." One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said, "Edna, Im

71 years old. If I dont ride that airplane this year I may never get another

chance." Edna replied, "Fred that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten

dollars is ten dollars." The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, Ill make you

a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire

ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten

dollars." Fred and Edna agreed and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of

twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his

tricks over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to Fred,

"By golly, I did everything could think of to get you to yell out, but you

didn't." Fred replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Edna fell out, but

ten dollars is ten dollars."
