Attitude Adjustment Underway . . .

KeirasMom · 05-04-2012, 12:43 PM

I have really been in a blue mood the last couple of weeks, and I decided this morning that it's time to put on my big girl pants and change my attitude. I found some quotes I think may help. Feel free to add your own, if you'd like.

"Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." ~William James

"Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think." ~Benjamin Disraeli

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." ~Mahatma Gandhi

"Your attitude is either the lock on, or the key to, the door of success." ~Denis Waitley

"The most unknown, unused and unrecognised tool of the human mind, is the recognition that attitude is always a choice." ~Mark Horton

Unrelated, but I like it anyway: "It takes a smart person to have the last word and not use it." ~Author Unknown

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. Groucho Marx

Dottie · 05-04-2012, 01:20 PM

I don't change, I need direction!

I saw this on Pinterest - not sue who said it but . . .

Being fat is hard, exercising is hard, dieting is hard - choose your hard.

So true, when I want to eat more than I should - I think about how miserable I was for all the years I was overweight.

Kissa · 05-04-2012, 02:05 PM

Tricialy I used to have that in my siggie.

"People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly. " -- Elizabeth Gilbert, "Eat, Pray, Love"

sorenkkg · 05-04-2012, 02:45 PM

Fake it till you make it!

(I sometimes do that "smile for 10 full seconds" thing, and I always, always! feel better after... sometimes you can lead with the physical and the mental will follow).

Oh hey! I just made that up! That's a good one!

Misery loves company...................OH WAIT! I'm supposed to have motivational quotes. No quotes but honestly, you've been a huge help in my kidney issues and I really appreciate the "internet" support.

melisa82 · 05-04-2012, 04:38 PM

Some of my very favorite quotes!

*We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. -Aristotle

*The best way out is always through. -Robert Frost

*He who hesitates is lost. -Proverb

*To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.
-Albert Camus

*Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. -Buddha

*Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. -Buddha

*Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. -Buddha

*No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. -Buddha

*The mind is everything. What you think you become.
-Buddha

*Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death. *Buddha

I live that quote. Oh wait, that's what I'm trying to change.

You're awesome and a hoot yourself. Margaritas in Vegas! Or just straight shots of tequila. Tomayto, tomahto.

Joyjoy · 05-04-2012, 04:52 PM

What makes you happy makes you well.
Practice instant forgiveness.
What you run from follows you.
Love wins.
Be bwave. Be vewy, vewy bwave.
The quality of my life is determined by the quality of my questions.

Everyone enjoy the super moon Saturday night!

And, if you believe gravitational & ionospheric disruptions can affect the human brain, expect to start cheering up in a few days.
