\"positive<\/a><\/p>\n

Great quote! I happen to be one of those glass half-full people, and my positive attitude has served me well.<\/p>\n

There is nothing as difficult to be around as a person with a “woe is me” attitude. You know what I mean–a person who is bound and determined to feel sorry for themselves and their situation, no matter how many positive things are happening in their lives.<\/p>\n

Sure, we all have down times. But come on, there is always a silver lining behind that dark cloud. (And there it is, that half-full attitude of mine.)<\/p>\n

Even the small stuff. This is why I use the following bit of wisdom as a guide whenever my attitude takes a dip south.<\/p>\n

\"will-this-matter-a-year-from-now\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Take the other day, when I was late meeting friends for dinner. Naturally, the driver in front of me was doing 10 miles under the speed limit, for no particular reason that I could see. I was getting upset. Then I thought, will this matter a year from now? Instant attitude shift. I told myself that on the plus side, the driver in front of me was keeping me from speeding and a possible traffic ticket. Instant calm.<\/p>\n

Until Friday and wishing you a positive attitude,<\/p>\n
