I saw this quote posted on one of the cabinets in my Mothers office today.
“To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy, is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances, instead of being conditioned by them.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Remember…We may not be able to control our circumstances, but we can ALWAYS control how we respond to them.
Thanks for the reminder today Mom 🙂
I started a new job a few weeks ago and have been focusing all of my efforts on getting situated and familiar with all the new products, features, and responsibilities. As I have done this…I have noticed that other areas of my life have been taking a back seat.
As I have focused on figuring out my new job, I have noticed that my positive attitude, focus, and positive outlook on life has been impacted. I am not saying that I have become a negative person, but I have noticed a difference in my overall positive attitude and the energy that I usually approach life.
As I was thinking about this today, I came across this quote that I feel lines up perfectly to what I am experiencing.
I have built my positive outlook by being persistent AND consistent. The name of my blog is Choose your PACE – which stands for Positive Attitude Changes Everything. If I am not consistently working on this…then I will lose this focus. Makes total sense!!!
The great thing about this quote and this principle in general is that if I want to increase my positive attitude and outlook, or change anything else in my life, I need to be persistent AND consistent at doing the things that will help me have this positive outlook and focus.
One of the first steps…Start posting again 🙂

Having a Positive Attitude is a simple principle and it all starts with us making a conscious choice, each day to have a positive attitude. It does require work, but so does everything else in life that is worth something.

What a great quote to start the week.
“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.” ~ Groucho Marx
