A is for Attitude

A is for Attitude

Sometimes survival is a matter of attitude. I read something once that said basically, your altitude is determined by your attitude. That can mean a lot of different things.

If you think you can do a thing, for instance, it may very well surprise you to find out that you actually can accomplish that which you wish to do. Henry Ford is often quoted as saying that with the added —if you think you can’t, you’re right.

Once our choices are clear to the universe it seems things start moving in our favor. I would never have imagined I would ever be a single parent raising a daughter—that thought never entered my mind in my teen years or even later when I met Mr. Right.

But here I am with Taylor, an already nearly grown woman herself. I could have given her up for adoption when I found myself alone and pregnant. I loved her father, I was old enough to raise her responsibly and even if I hadn’t been. I loved this precious little life the minute I knew, and when I held her the first time—I never doubted my choice one iota.

My attitude toward life changed right then and there. I just knew, whatever life demanded of me—I could do.

Life is like that, faith in yourself and the right attitude are more then enough to see you through. Trust yourself.

Love
