knowing how to be positive

Our attitude contributes to about 99% of our happiness.  I strongly believe this because God gave us the power to make choices.  We can respond to any situation negative or positive.  I’m going to prove to you that my philosophy is true just by giving you a couple of examples. 

If you say to yourself “ I’m stressed”, you will be stressed.  If someone is negative towards you, you can either be negative back or respond positive.  Everything that comes out of your mouth is your fault.  So in other words, we do & say what we want.  We have to learn how to control ourselves.  Happiness will never come to you if you allow others to get to you.  You make your day so live positive in every way.  We have to carry ourselves well.  This means get control and know that we have the power to control how we respond to all situations.

I’ll tell you God have truly blessed me because I control my day and by the grace of God no one can take that away.  People are negative towards me sometimes but I don’t fault them nor do I respond negative back.  I don’t let anybody take advantage of me but I love unconditionally.  I know why I’m here & I can’t contribute to my purpose if I don’t love & forgive.  When people are negative towards me, I know that they are going through some kind of pain and they need help.  I pray for them and I still love them.  Don't get me wrong sometimes you can still  love from a distract but you can't let her heart be angry.  That’s power and thank you Jesus.  We can’t blame other people for the outcome of our lives because we make the decisions. 

Yes, people can be terrible and people have done bad things to us.  We all have to watch our back but trust in God and stay positive.  We don’t make the calls so learn to control your attitude.  Don’t make life harder than what it is now.  A positive attitude definitely contributes to your happiness.  I told you that your life is what you make of it.  I heard people blame others for things they did not get in life.  Don’t dwell on the past but don’t forget history. 

If you want something, go after it, this is a free country.  You may have to fall a few times or get stepped on but don’t give up.  You can be whatever you want to be.  People will always be people. We can’t control them but we can control our actions.  Go with the flow and let God handle situations that you encounter.  Do this and you will always get through any situation by not allowing other people to control your life. 

When you respond negative, you are allowing others to control you.  I learned that the hard way and I thank God for helping me.  I’m a people person but I made mistakes throughout my life.  I learned from my mistakes but in the past my attitude held me back from getting what I wanted.  A positive attitude is power because it allows you to get through all situations and be able to keep on walking.  It’s a win-win situation for both you and the person you are dealing with at the time.  You would know how to deal with people and the other person would be able to witness your positive attitude. 

If you keep that positive attitude, you will benefit.  You will feel happy and know that you set the tone of your day.  Thank God for a positive attitude and always respond positively.  You will see things happening when you produce a good attitude and you will see the power that you have within yourself.
 
ATTITUDE
  
Attitude is something in our control you see
It takes you wherever you want to be
 
It can block you and stop you
From achieving in life and to do
 
Whatever you would like to do in life
It’s up to you to control your attitude with all your might
 
Whatever path you chose to follow growing up
Don’t blame other people for your stuff
 
When people upset you and try to bring you down
Stand up tall with a smile not a frown
 
People will always be people these days
You have to learn how to get over things always
 
You can meet your goals each day
If you don’t allow other people to get in your way
 
Each of us has a chance to succeed
The opportunities are there for you if you want to achieve

I've seen people who have great potential
But they let their attitude control them instead of meeting their credentials
 
Have control over your attitude be a leader
If you’re negative, you will never be an achiever
 
You can follow your dreams, I mean that too
Control your attitude and do what’s best for you.
                       
Attitude is what we control.  It’s the first step to the outcome of your life.
 

EPHESIANS 4:31
 
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
