Attitude is Everything!

In April, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by a young man named, Eric Lister for a podcast that he created called, Rocky Mountain Heroes. Since our time together, I have followed Eric on social media, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching his daily vlogs. This morning, I watched his latest video, where he spent some time talking about how people tend to complain and offer their opinions about how certain issues should be addressed, and yet, they choose not to make steps towards doing what they can to fix it.

He had a point. Change starts within ourselves. We can choose to sulk about these issues, or we can choose to do what we can to make things better. This may sound incredibly cheesy, but attitude is everything.  Life has proven this to me over and over again. Even though it can be difficult to maintain a positive mind-set all the time, it has served as the ultimate weapon in helping to conquer many of my challenges. Choosing to be a “ Negative Nancy” never got anyone anywhere. It not only makes me miserable, but it makes everyone around me miserable as well.

I recently watched Wonder Woman for the first time, and to say I absolutely loved it would be an understatement. It’s simply incredible! There was one line in the movie that stood out for me:

“ It is futile to think you can win.”- Ares (Wonder Woman).

This is so far from the truth. Life has taught me that absolutely anything is possible provided we are willing to put in the effort to make our goals and dreams a reality. This does not mean that you will not encounter struggles along the way. You may even discover that you did not get the results you initially hoped for; the important thing to remember is that you got up and tried. 

I promise you will learn so much just by being on the journey, my friends.

If we choose not to try, if we choose not to take action on the issues that matter to us in an effort to create change, we may never see what is possible
