Better Attitude = Better Life, or Visa Versa?

BETTER ATTITUDE, BETTER LIFE

Can Having a Good Attitude Change your Outlook?

by Kyleigh Zoltek

“Attitude is everything.” That’s a common phrase in my house, reinforced on a weekly, if not daily basis by my dad. Now it’s something I say often, when I barely said it at all. Whenever I tackle a hard task, or even get out of bed to face a very long day, that mantra repeats through my mind – “Attitude is everything.”

If you think about it, it really is. Attitude encompasses how you view your entire day, how you view your life, your circumstances – even you yourself as an individual. Just as having a bad attitude can ruin your day (and others’ days in the process), a good attitude can lighten it. It can make others’ days better as well. Plus, it will help you have a healthier approach to life.

Having a good attitude doesn’t just change your outlook, it also adds to your disposition. You’re happier. You’re less stressed. You’re kinder. You’re smiling a lot more. You’re friendlier (even just a little bit!). This good attitude is helping you see the good, better and best in any situation, rather than the bad, terrible, and worst! You’re a much more positive individual!

I’ll say it again: Attitude is everything. It influences how you view your entire life, and the events in it. Because, let’s face it – an attitude is like laughter. It’s contagious, it’s infectious.

So check yourself in the mirror – make sure you have a good one!
