A conversation this
morning led me to thinking about attitude, happiness and perspective. I realized that, in my mind anyway, your overall attitude, perspective and outlook on all things in your life (not individual things, problems or people) can be the foundation of your existence.
If you have a horrible attitude and are a negative person what kind of spouse, if any, will you find? What kind of kids will you raise? How can you further your career or have good working relationships? How can you rely on family support if you are miserable to be around? How can you expect to have a positive life with a negative attitude? I'm not saying these things aren't possible. But perspective changes them I think.
Life is made up of so many parts. If one part goes wrong do you throw all the others away?
Or do you take that part and let it strengthen you and recognize the good parts?
I by no means think these are the only two options. The actual day to day life of humans lies somewhere in between but it does create differences in people in the same situations. Do those differences matter in the long run? Food for thought.
