In these days and times, we certainly can find so much to be worried or depressed about.  The economy, rising health care costs, high unemployment rates, loss of homes for so many and so on.  Of course for many of us, our bad days are on a much more personal scale.  You know a bad boss, a teenager who won't stay out of trouble, a client that you just can't satisfy, a disease that is making someone's life unbearable or just some jerk who rides your car bumper because they want you to go faster.  It's so easy to let the big things or the little things just ruin your day, your month or even your year.

I would like to challenge you and myself to realize that it's all about our attitudes. It is not what the world does to us that make us sad, worried, angry or depressed. It's how we decide to react to it.  It seems so simple doesn't it? But in fact, our own attitude is one of the hardest things to keep in a positive place each day.  Scary but what comes out of our mouths is a direct reflection of where our attitude is at that moment. 

So let's make a pack and let's start small because I believe goals should always be attainable and reaching a goal at any level will only inspire you to set more goals. The more goals you reach, the more we realize that anything is possible.  Let's strive for (7) seven days of a positive attitude no matter what happens in our own little worlds. Seven days of saying, "Yes I can!" Seven days of smiling even when the other side of our brain just wants to hit a punching bag. Seven days of not uttering one negative word about anything or anyone. What do you say? Will you join me? Let me know if you found it easy or difficult.
