The words “success” and “positive attitude” should really be considered as synonyms. When it comes right down to it, these two ideas are really just the same thing. If you have success, for example, you will have a positive attitude and if you have a positive attitude, you will surely have success. There really is no difference. Some people may argue that they have often held a positive mental attitude in the past but things didn’t work out for them. They now feel that positive attitude isn’t always enough to bring you to success in life. You need more than a positive attitude, they say. You need “luck” and “good fortune” as well as a good attitude. Although this may be true in the short term, this is not actually true over the long term. Some people are born into worse conditions than others. This is just a fact. Still, you don’t need more than a positive attitude to be successful no matter what situation you were born into. You just need more perseverance and strength to maintain your positive attitude over the long term. You may just need to hold on longer than the other people who were born into better circumstances. The things that determine success for other people born into a bad situation are only the same things as everyone else. The only difference is determination to remain positive and to overcome the negative things that have been placed in your way. One of the greatest tools for overcoming a negative situation is to accept that everything happens for a reason. At first this may seem incredibly hard to do. Things oftentimes seem so unfair on the surface. Still, if you first accept that this problem has been placed in front of you for a reason, you will be able to face it with more strength and to eventually overcome it with great determination. Others, who may have been born into a better situation may be blessed for some reason that we cannot see upon first glance. It may seem unfair or unjust that they have been given more but, if we can remember that everything happens for a reason, we will be better equipped to turn to our own lives instead of pointing our fingers at others. A positive mental attitude is something that is sometimes taken for granted by the people who already have it. They feel good about their lives most of the time and they rarely suffer from depression or anxiety like so many other people do. Successful people feel good and they sometimes take their positive mental attitude as a “given”, often wondering why more people don’t feel the same way as they do. Actually, what they fail to recognize is that they are extremely lucky to have a positive mental attitude and this attitude they possess is actually the real reason why their lives are so good most of the time. They are reaping the rewards of the good things they did before. If they decide they want more from their lives, they are in a good position to try for more and to even achieve greater and greater things and it is their positive mental attitude that will make these extra things possible. Positive mental attitude makes it possible for people to add the frosting to their cake of success and to enjoy even greater things than just “mere success”. We should be grateful that there are other people who can actually go on to spread their happiness to others and this is what the frosting of success is all about. For us, we must look at the place we are at and do everything we can to improve our attitude each and every day. This is the royal road to success at whatever cost it may come. A positive mental attitude can indeed bring success to everyone but it requires strength and perseverance in many cases. Next time you think that attitude isn’t enough, think again. You may not have all the answers just yet but more will certainly be revealed. You may just need to pick yourself up and try a little bit harder before you discover the success you were after.

It’s difficult for me to imagine living in fear everyday the way Anne Frank did, and still find a way to be happy and display kindness and joy the way she did. Anne was a Jewish girl born in Germany who wrote a diary while in hiding with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands. After living for 2 years in hiding, she and her group were betrayed and the Germans removed them to concentration camps where Anne Frank died 7 months later. Her father Otto was the only one to survive and was instrumental in having Anne Frank’s diary published. It is from those pages that much inspiration came for the writing of books, plays, speeches and finally several movies depicting her life and the lives of those she shared during those days of seclusion. Her simple words, “Look at all the beauty still around you and be happy” is advice we could all use, despite our predicaments. I was drawn to the words “still left around you” in this quote because I understood her predicament. Her whole peaceful calm world eroded around her till there was nearly unbearable circumstances left. I grew up under such circumstances, though it was camouflaged as merely a dysfunctional family or home. Yet, in her innocent mind and heart she found place to be kind to those other 6 people with whom she shared her terrible circumstances while in hiding. After contemplating Anne Frank’s situation and her quote, I began to think about my life now and my own every day predicaments and I questioned whether I was being kind enough to others around me. I have been out of work since 2005 due to a disease that has turned my world upside down and I have since become resentful and unkind. Here is where self-empowerment’s price is felt. Discovering and admitting my weaknesses is a painful process for me. But they say that knowing your faults is half the battle. There is another quote that goes, “Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.” I believe it is anonymous but pay no attention to that for the moment. “Be kinder than necessary” are the words that jump out at me there. You see in this battle that exists inside ourselves to grow, to mature, we often doll out kindness, and love, in measures that we deem as fair, as if there were a shortage of these behaviors or a given amount we need worry about less we run out. No- kindness is always in plentiful supply for us to use if we just want to. Now if I were to follow the anonymous quote’s advice I would give more than is necessary. Why? Because we never know what a person has gone through that day. I could be they were having an Anne Frank day. It is observed by the writer that everyone is facing some kind of battle today. I feel the need to apply to myself the admonition given today. I think I can find more place for kindness than I have. I think if Anne Frank can do it, so can I. Today I feel empowered because I know what I need to do. I will look at the beauty still around me and I will display kindness to all I meet, but especially to those who are close to me. I shall refresh someone like it were a spring day even though it is the winter of my life.

I had been diagnosed with Arthritis about 5 years ago. I was only 52 at the time and I was thinking how debilitating this decease can be. I was wondering how I could get around in about 10 more years? Would I have to be a burden for my family? The doctor prescribed the usual medication for persons who are suffering from Arthritis. Some of the medication I have heard caused a few people to die. When I talked to my doctor about this he told me that he never had a patient who had died from certain medications. Well I was hurting and so I started to take medication for Arthritis for about 2 weeks when I came down with a severe bronchitis. I stopped taking the medication immediately. Then I heard about the Law of Attraction and I was watching the “Secret”. I also have bought some books on the same subject. I started meditation and affirmations, I left a very restrictive religion and I was changing the way I was thinking. I felt appreciation for each and every day that I lived. I was in pains everyday but I tried not to focus on my pain or even talk about it. I tried to ignore it which was really hard. I used to love to do yard work and I had beautiful flower beds that had been neglected since I came down with this painful condition. Every year I was thinking maybe next year I can go back outside and do what I used to do. In my mind I was trying to rearrange my flower beds and I was even drawing pictures of how I wanted them to look. My family supported me in these efforts as they too used the Law of Attraction for their own goals. Well I did not take any of the prescribed medications and I did make my doctor mad. I took my vitamins and tried to enjoy a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, I did my meditations and affirmations and I focused on a happy and exciting future. I felt every day how it feels to have a wonderful live, I was determined not to let anybody make me feel bad. I never talked to others much about my health condition. Healing is a process it does not always come overnight. But I am here to tell you that I have been able this year to arrange and work in my flower beds exactly the way I wanted to for the first time again. Lately I have noticed quiet a difference in the way I feel and in the way I can manage my pains. I am amazed, it’s true I am still having arthritis but it has become so much better! There has been a big improvement! I will continue to live in harmony with the knowledge about the Law of Attraction and how it really works. I am telling you this story to let you know that there is hope even if you are experiencing health problems. What you think and how you feel can make all the difference. The knowledge about the Law of Attraction is the key to take the first steps to posses a better health! Read more about the Law of Attraction and how other people have been able to get well despite severe health problems. Take heart! You are not powerless and you do not always have to depend on expensive medicines to improve your health. Apply the power of the Law of Attraction in your life and become well!

It always is a wonder to me how people find smoking fascinating. I always thought it was more than that. There are reasons that people throw at me and some of them, no matter how sensible they think it is; doesn’t seem to appeal to my interest. Thus, I’ve never smoked a stick in my entire life and I’m proud to say it. I know for a fact that smoking is never good to a person’s body but I never think ill of people who smoke. Just because a person smokes, doesn’t mean that there is nothing good about them any longer. A better way to let these people know that they are special as everyone else is to help them quit their smoking habit. Smoking is never healthy for anybody. Even the companies that manufacture cigarettes and tobaccos still give emphasis through a disclaimer that smoking is never good for anyone’s health. To set the record straight, smoking develops later on to a serious lung disease called lung cancer. If this doesn’t alarm any bell, nothing will and smoking will never be removed from your system. Being addicted to smoking has negative effects already to your body, how more so, the act of smoking itself? The two are different, in a way that being addicted to smoking is already the after effect of it and yet, being addicted to it still has its own sub-categories of disadvantages. As for the act of smoking, it leads to ailments that are purely caused by the act itself. If you value your health while you are young, you will never have to worry about any regrets in your later years. Smoking doesn’t only affect the lungs; but it also has negative effects to other parts of the body. An extremely scary fact is that, smoking has a tremendous effect on the skeletal system. The bones make our every movement possible but slowly, it increases the risk of fracture while decreasing bone density and the body’s rate of natural way to heal itself. Smoking brings about so many negative effects physically. Help a friend from acquiring a grave sickness in the future.
