Attitude

She knew things were going to fall into place in an amazing way Of course they did. She obtained her dream job. He was certain he was going to be flogged and beaten. Someone mugged him on the way home Choices are imperative. He suspected something weird was going on, but did not comment. Later he was glad, because his ideas were way off, and mentioning it might have hurt someone. She was furious with a co-worker for an assumed infraction And refused to give them a second chance. It is always our choice, remember that. She visualized joy because she needed to get out of her funk. Believing brought happiness to her within a few hours. Sadly, he could not refocus because he was too angry. His therapist worked with him, but he did not try. He was determined to be angry, sad and mad. He chose an attitude that once again did not help him.

Love the word "maditude" - have you copywritten it?

Attitude is so vitally important. I have often wondered what in the mind triggers and feeds attitude--both a good and a bad one. Some folks seem to relish having a nasty attitude. I don't!

I think some people retain an angry, bad, mad attitude for some unknown weird reason.
