Q: What do you think would have to change in your life before you could have more fun?

A: This question was perfect for today because I was planning to post a great poem I read about attitude. I need to change my attitude before I can have more fun. I am a firm believer in the fact that we are able to choose our attitude in any situation and we can do so by changing the way we look at certain situations. If I could just learn to change my attitude in some situations, I bet I would have much more fun!!

ATTITUDE

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than apprearaces, giftedness, or skill.
It will make or break a company, a church, a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it.
And so it is with you.. we are in charge of our attitude.
~Charles Swindoll

There ya have it! Now, I think that I am pretty good at choosing to be optimistic in almost every situation, but that is not the only attitude I can and should choose. I hope to start putting on a fun attitude so that I allow more fun to happen to me instead of blocking it out with a straight face and a "go-getter" attitude.
