What attitude do you take in tough times?....Portsmouth NH Real Estate-Hampton NH Real Estate-patricia4realestate.com

I've always thought that the universe returns to us what we "put out".   A positive attitude brings help to everyone we meet, and often we don't even know that we had an uplifting effect on someone.    Eventually, though, what goes around comes around, right?    (You had a wise mother!).

Hi Patricia, I usually have a positive attitude, there are times when certain situations can get me down -- but I find I just don't have the energy required to be a pessimist!

I think positively most of the time.  I have a little framed Bible verse over my door that says in caligraphy (done by one of my art students) "All things work together for good to those who love God."  I always found that pretty inspirational.

My wise old grandmother always told me that a working person is a productive person. So I create a five-year plan of where I want to be in five years. Then I break it down into years, months, weeks, days, and sometimes even hours. Then I work those hours and days persistently and consistently. By doing that, the weeks, months, and years just naturally fall into place, putting me at, or ahead of, where I wanted to be five years down the road. Try it. I think you'll find that it works. Reward yourself each day for accomplishing your tasks each day. I don't get to go sit in the hot tub until I've accomplished everything.
