What is Attitude?

Norman Vincent Peale was a believer that focusing one's positive thoughts was one of ways to having a happy and successful life.

I agree with that. I have a tendency to think a lot of negative thoughts and unfortunately they happen. I keep trying to change that by working on thinking positive thoughts insted. I've noticed that the response time to happy thoughts is much slower than negative thoughts. Wonder why that is?

Below are other people's thoughts on living a positive life, enjoy reading!


The longer I live, the more I realize the
impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past,
than education, than money, than
circumstances, than failures, than success,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance,
giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company,
a church, a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice
everyday 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…
I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you…

Nothing has any meaning in life except the meaning we give it.
-Tony Robbins-


Attitudes are more important than facts.
-Karl Menniger-


There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
-William Shakespeare-


On of the nice things about problems is that a good
many of them don’t exist except in our imaginations.
-Steve Allen-

Experience is not what happens to a man; it is
what a man does with what happens to him
-Aldous Huxley-
