Attitude is Everything

Since I've been ill, I knew that I had to focus on maintaining a positive outlook
no matter how I felt or what challenges I faced to give myself the best chance
of minimizing stress and regaining my health.  I believe no matter what challenge
you face physical, mental, or emotional you must approach each dawn focusing
on positive goals.  There are two types of people in the world, internals and
externals.  Internals are proactive believing with postive self expectancy that
they can to some extent control their world. Externals believe they are controlled
by the world around them.  As Paul J. Meyer says " Attitude is Everything."
In 1975 , as a teenager, my late wife Patricia wrote,
" Happiness is found even in sadness,
  As long as within there is hope."

  1. Mark, I have learned that without sadness, we can never know joy.

    Teaches me a whole new appreciation for those sad times, knowing/trusting joy comes in the morning.
