Do You Have A Positve Attitude?

Do You Have A Positve Attitude?

We all know that attitude is everything and how you see things determines how you deal with them. How we see these things usually brings on our behavior, may it be positive or negative.  Research done at Yale University found that people who had positive attitudes lived 7.5 years long than people with negative attitudes.

A positive attitude gives us energy that helps us to overcome obstacles which will help us succeed in life, as where, negative attitude is a gloomy view and quite draining of a person's energy.  We do though grow more through our negative experiences in life than our positives in our early years of life.

There can't be positives without negatives in your life.  The key is learning to balance positives and negatives in one's life.  Don't let people who have negative feelings get you down.  Just remember that for every negative there will be a positive. 

For instance, when I read negative comments on Gather, I try to find something positive about whatever the subject is. Sometimes I get caught up in negative feelings only to feel guilty after for giving in. 

What does all this mean to you?  A positive outlook can lead to a healthier, more balanced, and longer life span.

Here are is one of my favorite quotes:  "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right."   by Henry Ford
