“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult undertaking which, more than anything else, will determine its successful outcome.” - William James quotes (American Philosopher and Psychologist, leader of the philosophical movement of Pragmatism, 1842-1910)
Getting up in the morning is so difficult. The burden of getting out of bed can be so overwhelming. Thinking about today gets me to think, do I want to get ouf bed? Do I want to walk out the front door? Do I want to go to work? Do I want to deal with people? Do I want to do things? Do I want to be lazy today? Do I want to take action?
Having a positive attitude can help you to cope more easily with life’s daily affairs. If you have a positive attitude, it will bring optimism into your life. Having a positive attitude will make it easier for you to avoid worry and negative thinking. It is very important as you will focus more of your time in getting things done.
If you adopt positive attitude as part of your life, you will be able to see the constructive changes in your life, and over the long run it will make you happier and be far more successful. It is very true that you will see the bright side of life, be more optimistic and you will expect the best thing to happen to you if you have positive attitude towards your life. Here are just some of the benefits of having a positive attitude:
• Achieve your goals and attain success
• Success achieved faster and more easily
• More energy
• More happiness
• Greater inner power and strength
• The ability to inspire and motivate yourself and others
• The ability to surmount any difficulty
• People begin to respect you more
Positive attitude is definitely a state of mind that is worth developing and strengthening. It is a very useful and vital skill when once you have mastered it; you will be able to use it in all aspects of your life.
The most important thing is to take action in wanting to have a positive attitude and the desire to make changes to your life. So since you have know the benefits of having a positive attitude now, the next thing that you should do now is to start applying it. Have a positive attitude and make the changes today.
Yes, I will get out of bed this morning and get moving.

Killer Whale Attack!!!!
This is from my daughter, Isabella.
I found a story about a Killer Whale and a woman on Youtube! We will not reproduce the video as it is too distressing.
The story goes…
There was a lady who sat on a trained Killer Whale inside an enclosed pool. While she was riding on it something went horribly wrong it appeared the whale became distracted and angry. The Killer Whale started to attack the lady. Some helpers came on the scene and tried to help, they had to improvise and use a rescue pole so the woman can hold on and escape from the menacing the attempts was fraught with danger then a net came in and tried to get her out but it didn’t work at all so another rescue pole came in then she finally grabs hold of it. The helpers pull her in vain but the whale griped on her leg forcing her to back into the water. After several attempts the whale finally lets go of her leg the lady gets out and collapses with shock the lady is rushed to hospital and getting over 100 stiches to close up her wounds, fortunately she makes a full recovery.

46 Ways Children Can Change Our Lives
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one. Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)
This morning I caught a commuter train to work. A couple of stops into my journey to work, a kid sat beside me. The behaviour of the child gave me inspiration to write this article and also think about my own.
There is a child in all of us but as an Adult we become complicated and make life difficult; we set boundaries and limitations on our life. Adult’s find ways to tap into your childhood behaviours and wish we were Children again.
Why do children have no fear? Please read on…
Traits of children...
They try anything and everything and find a way no matter what
They talk loud in quiet places, e.g. on a packed train full of adults
They ask lots of questions
They have no meaning of personal space
They love the environment
They love animals
They love life
They have no boundaries or limitations
They fall, stumble but get up and keep going e.g. riding a bike
They don’t quit
They follow each other
They have no Fear
They are happy and joyful
They melt our hearts
They mean everything to us
Their ideas WILL shape our world
They are big dreamers

Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold, "Barrayar", 1991
They are cute, cuddly and warm hearted

They have creative minds
They don’t have to travel overseas to search for a better life
They enjoy their surroundings

Who wants to be a child again?
We can all take a leaf out of a child’s life. I don’t mean we have to play on swings and do cart wheels at random; however there are certain traits that we could adapt as adults. Think about it.

Petronas Towers
Picture taken in Malayasia, under the Petronas Towers. It's a never ending walk way. There is no place to run or hide, just a lonely guard at the end of the tunnel ready to greet you. The Petronas Towers are an awesome sight with spectacular views, especially during the evening. Best described as two giant brothers standing side by side of equal dimension over looking the heart of down town Malayasia. A friend of mine Pattie, played a trick on me and said one of the towers was a hologram! It made me think, not once but twice, but I'd didn't fall for that trick. However, if you ever travel to Malaysia, have hard look at the towers at night and maybe you are stairing at a hologram!

Working with an Unpleasant Boss
Does this sound familiar? Has this caused you to call in sick, felt unmotivated or so stressed that it has lead to health problems? You are not alone. This is the case for most of us.
So how can you get around working with an unpleasant boss?
I suggest you to try this simple experiment each day for the next 30 days. Take one day at the time and it will certainly improve your predicament. You may also ask a work colleague to join you who’s in the same position.
Let’s begin; re-evaluate your job. Get your pen & paper. List all what’s good about your job or your company. If you can’t think of any, that’s OK. Then list all what’s not so good about your job. List as many as you can.
The key is to take action.
Every thing has negative and a positive. There are always two sides to the coin. There is a flipside. You can either fall in the trap and continually blame the boss or change the outcome by developing a positive attitude. The choice is yours.
After reading the negative list, you can change the scenario by changing your thinking, changing your feelings, changing your perspective, changing your attitude, which will lead to changing your actions. This will most certainly lead to positive thoughts and a better result.
Don’t fall into the blame game for making you miserable. It could lead you into a downward spiral of negativity, sadness and despair. Do the exercises for 30 days, conquer your negative thoughts, and ultimately conquer your boss!
Exercise…
Read your positive ideas twice a day for 30 days. This will help you develop a better relationship with your boss and work colleagues. The more you act upon this, the stronger you will develop a better relationship with your boss and lead to a positive attitude and inner peace and satisfaction. I dare you to try.

Positive Attitude - Feel The Difference
Why do you need a Instant Positive Attitude? Being confident and pleased with your inner-self is the beginning of the process. A wholesome self-image shines out love and certainty and makes the people who are around you feel the same way. Having an optimistic approach is a pivotal ingredient for realizing success in all areas of your life. Your disposition destines how you approach your life and is emulated in your career, business ventures, sporting achievements and relationships.
A winner's attitude is a principal requirement for achieving your desires in life. People that we revere for achieving excellence would not have attained their goals by living their life with an impartial approach. The essential components for a blessed life are believing in yourself, having the ability to visualize your success and living with with a positive attitude.
A Positive Attitude promotes an expectant outlook on life. You will feel joyful, healthier and more energetic. Your acceptance in yourself and your abilities will be amplified and by adopting an open and positive attitude your consciousness will be welcoming to the opportunities that will start to come your way. Often when people have a negative attitude they become totally preoccupied with their problems and are unable to see the opportunities that are staring them in the face. Once you teach your consciousness to automatically assume a positive attitude your difficulties will not be as momentous and you will be able to control them with ease.
Impulsively we are charmed by the company of positive people. They make us feel great about life by lifting our spirits. Attitude, whether it's positive of negative, is extremely contagious - so choose to be around people who have a positive attitude and your personality will take on the same energy. When you choose to live your life with a positive attitude your body will be enveloped with a light energy which will magnetically draw people towards you.
By absolutely believing that your goals will become a reality you have within you the potential to be, do and have whatever you desire - couple this with a positive attitude and you will be irrepressible. A New York engineering Professor was quoted in 1903 as saying that it would be impossible for man to fly. The Wright Brothers piloted the world's first powered airplane two weeks later. The Wright Brothers had a definite advantage - they absolutely believed that their dream was achievable!
Don't let fear of failure hold you back from pursuing your dreams - instead take on a positive attitude and reach for your goals with faith. We all have the potential to soar to great heights if we take on a positive attitude like the Wright Brothers.
