Inspiration With Attitude
Inspiration with attitude determines each moment of your life. Every choice you make effects everything around you. It really does boil down to attitude and focus. Focus on negative things and tell yourself your life sucks and you are right!! Bad things will happen around you and your life will be joyless and depressing. We all have bad times and bad days. What do you want to do about it?
By choosing to focus on all the things that are going wrong, stress builds up. Without some serious changes you are headed for health problems, medication, and disaster. And what would you think of being told you chose this life for yourself? That's ridiculous, right? You choose how you want to live each minute of each day. Consider the laws of nature. Nature can reveal much about yourself and holds the secrets of life from billions of years.
In the Concept of Rocks
you can learn to take the rocks of your life (a metaphor for your negative past) and use them as learning experiences.One lesson from nature is that once you decide to make a change it is impossible to be stuck where you are. Look at anything in motion. It will never be in the same place it was. Choose to make positive changes toward a better life, and your life will never be the way it is now. That is the secret. You see, when you make positive choices towards growth (that lead you to feel good about yourself), rather than choosing resentment and bitterness, then the world begins to warm around you.
Compare a cobblestone road to the green pasture beside it. The grass in the pasture is green, soft, and lush. The cobblestones are dark, cold, and hard. Think of the positive choices as grass and old resentments are the rocks. When you decide to begin to examine those rocks it puts a crack in the cobblestone. That’s enough for a piece of grass to take hold. If you have ever had a crack in your sidewalk you know that one piece of grass is extremely thick and tenacious. The harder you want to get rid of it the firmer it takes hold. You may pull at the part that is showing, but the root is still buried deep and growing stronger. You have changed your inspiration with attitude in a positive direction. Make it strong and tenacious. Many people resort to pouring poison on that piece of grass to kill it off once and for all. At the first sign of personal growth someone will come along and start tugging at your piece of grass. Resist the urge to pour poison all over the good stuff in order to go back to familiar ground.

I don't want to make any choices!
Ever want to stay in bed with the blankets over your head and make absolutely no choices? Your inspiration with attitude is headed in the wrong direction! And even if you don’t make a choice you are in fact making a choice. (you are choosing not to make a choice) There is no way around it. Life does get easier the more often you choose to continue to work at growing positive. The days aren’t quite so gray, and the burden isn’t quite so heavy, because you will be choosing to examine and get rid of some of you rocks.
When you remove an old habit or thought always replace it with a good one. That's how you keep the green grass growing. It's how you keep your inspiration alive and your spirit growing. Keep feeding your inspiration with attitude.Feed your positive growth with positive information. Read books that motivate you to keep growing. Feed your soul with artwork you like, take a walk in the woods, or along the water. Listen to your favorite music. Choose to walk your own path and live the life in front of you. Each day is new and full of choices. Each choice leads to a new possibility. You won't know where today will lead but by taking the first step to finding out. At the end of the day you can learn from the choices you have made. They will teach you more about yourself and who you are. I will have the opportunity to add to my burden or reduce it. Your soul is the core of you. It is what shapes attitude. It is either lightness or darkness, goodness or evil.
You decide. Your inspiration with attitude can decide to build on goodness and have a graceful life of joy. I am choosing goodness and my spirit is growing. And joy is growing. Daily drudgery is fading.

Each morning when you choose to begin each day you have a blank slate in front of you. Fill it with choices. Make your inspiration with attitude positive. You get to make your day whatever you want it to be. Choose to have fun today.
