… we can’t just push a magical button to change things.
I’ve seen this quote posted in a number of places this past year. It tells us that if we’re unhappy with our lot in life, we can’t just push a magical button to change things. In reality, however, there is a magic button that we can push if we want to change things–it’s called our attitude. Whether a hill is steep or gradual, whether a glass is half-empty or half-full or whether a dream seems impossible or doable all depend on our attitude. And, the good news is, we get to choose our attitude! If we choose a positive attitude, our life will be full of exciting and wonderful accomplishments and adventures. If we choose a negative attitude we will see ourselves as victims of circumstances and in the same old rut. As the philosopher William James put it, “The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be.”
