Do you have a positive attitude, are you a positive influence? Let these poems reinforce the benefits of having a positive attitude.
You influence people every day whether you realize it or not. What you say, how you say it, and actions you take or don't take. Be conscious of your words and actions, and reflect optimism in all you do.
When we surround ourselves with people who have a positive impact on our life we find support, encouragement, and inspiration from these
people. We agree with the thoughts of Rachael Bermingham, "Surround yourself with people who are really good and really passionate about what they do . . . positivity and passion make a powerful combination."
And yes, there are lots of negative - negative people, negative tv, negative books - but you can be influenced by the positive by the books you read, the tv you watch, and the people you spend
your time with. As Samuel Cypert said, "Others may influence or suggest, but only you can control what your mind accepts or rejects."
Life isn't easy, it can be fraught with strife,
Yet having an attitude of positivity provides much respite. Problems and hardships may seem hard to fight,
But with a positive perspective, will vanish from sight.
A positive outlook on life is wise and true,
It's not wishy-washy but concrete and smart too.
It means we take ownership of our actions and reply –
Refuse excuses that negativity implies.
My life is like a garden, sunny and bright
Blooming with opportunities within my sight.
I focus my outlook to see the sunny side,
Then happiness becomes the rule, not the exception aside.
Though sometimes storms come and turn things gray,
I will find the blessings that are sent my way.
By keeping my attitude positive I do find
Life is easier and much more kind.
