Nothing is impossible
Faith and a positive mental attitude work hand in hand in making things happen. A recurring theme of my blog is maintaining positive vibes and staying stress-free no matter what is going on in your life.
It took me along time to realize that I was making myself crazy over things that were out of my control . . . so much that I could not focus on those things that were in my control that could make a difference.
In my quest to turn my attitude toward life around, I have learned that our brains are subconsciously programmed. Our behaviors are guided by reactions determined through our thoughts. Unfortunately, for some of us, unpleasant events trigger those deeply rooted negative thought patterns.
With faith and a positive mental attitude, nothing is impossible. Every day I make a conscious effort to put my faith into action by the words I speak, determined by what I put into my inner being.
The good news is that I am learning how to reprogram my subconscious thoughts so I react differently when problems arise, making it so much easier to cope with life when times get rough.
Life is so much more pleasant with a smile on my face instead of crying and wearing an ugly frown.
I agree. A PMA makes such a difference. I’m a recovering fatalist.

That’s such an important lesson to learn - worrying about things that you can’t control is completely unproductive. There’s no use in obsessing about something you can’t do anything about. It only prevents you from doing things that are more productive. Thanks for the wisdom!
Exactly, we choose our attitudes and you have the right idea. Great blog.
Thanks for your comments!
It is something I have to be aware of constantly and it is getting easier to cope with fears and worry without going into a major depressive state.
I thought this was great, labelladiva. I am trying to be more positive too. I have spent a lot of years being negative about things and it only stressed me out. I think it’s much easier to try and think positively about things. Positive thinking is just as powerful as negative thinking.

Lisa, I have been on the path of embracing my solitude and loving myself as a person and it has made a huge difference in the peace and happiness I feel. LOL not only was he a “much older shriveled up man”, but a LIAR . . . I’d rather be alone!
milyjohnson, I found that having a negative attitude and being stressed out all of the time didn’t accomplish anything.
Sometimes it is easier said than done . . . I’ve had a string of stressful days that have been difficult to keep the PMA going . . . but faith and hope continue to dominate my thoughts.
This too shall pass
