It’s the Way You Look at It

“I can tell you about a sawmill man with whom I sat with one

night while every dollar he owned was going up in smoke

before his eyes. He was very quiet. I tried to be

sympathetic.” “I’m imagining how the

new mill will look,” he said.

 Clarence Budington Kelland 1881 - 1964, American Writer,

From the American Magazine

 

 

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

It’s the way you look at it

 

Good things will happen to you . . . . and some things will happen that you would like to forget about. No matter happen to you . . . .  it’s how you look at the situation that will determine what you do.

 

When you look at a situation that you find yourself in . . . . look for the opportunities you will find opportunity. When you look at the situation and see there’s no way to resolve it . . . . you’re right.

 

The way you look at it . . . . will determine what you see. Based on what you see you will determine . . . . how you respond to the situation . . . . and what actions you’ll take.

 

Life is about how you look at things . . . . and how you look at things is through your attitude. When you look at things in your life through a positive attitude . . . . you tend to see the opportunities and possibilities. With a negative attitude you end up seeing the dark side . . . .and will act accordingly.

 

It’s the way you look at it . . . . determines what you see . . . . What you see will determine your actions . . . . and your actions will determine your results.

Lots of wisdom there Lou!  Every trial is an opportunity to test our faith and by overcoming difficulties ourselves, we are able to help others down the road going through a similar situation.  No pain wasted.

Lou- this is definitely a favorite of mine and love the quote. There's a big difference between the person who sees the glass have full and the one who sees it half empty.

Hello Lou

Another great post my friend and VB can relate to these lines ...

Life is about how you look at things . . . . and how you look at things is through your attitude. When you look at things in your life through a positive attitude . . . . you tend to see the opportunities and possibilities.

Hi Lou Ludwig ,  It doesn't  gain anything by being negative. He was looking at the positive.

It is easy to be negative.  I lost a pole barn to a fire.  It needed a lot of repair and I was doing much the same the next day while digging through the ruble

Lou what an awesome message, needless to say this reminded me of a James Hook the biggest Lobster seller's place burned down instead of building a super lucrative Luxury High Rise they rebuilt the Fish & Lobster selling store....

We all experience challenges during our journey of life, some take it lying down, while others choose to rise to the challenge and continue their journey. Your attitude will determine your altitude, so, a great post to stay excited.
