It’s in How You Look at It . . . .

It’s in How You Look at It . . . .

“I can complain because rosebushes have thorns,

or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses:

it all how you look at it.”

J. Kenfield Morley, Author  

 

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

It’s in how you look at it . . . .

 

You can look into the night . . . . Do you see the darkness . . . or do you look into the night . . . . and see the stars?

 

You can look at the market conditions . . . .and complain about them . . . . or you can work hard to change your conditions.

 

How you look at things . . . . will determine what you see.  What you see will determine the course of action that you take. Your course of action will determine . . . . the level of your success.

 

How you look at things is determined by your thinking . . . . and your thinking will determine the path that you follow.

 

When you get your thinking right . . . . you will look at things in a different light . . . That light will change your direction . . . . and in the process you change the course of your life.

 

You will encounter changing conditions . . . . and obstacles in your life.  It’s in how you look at it . . . . that determines what you see . . . . and what course of action that you will take. How you see things . . . . and your actions will determine your success or failure.

Good morning Lou Ludwig ,

Some naturally look at a glass as half full and others half empty. When your thinking is right you do see things differently! Positive thinking will always help you on the road to success!

Hi Lou... this is so true. I'm a glass half-full sort of person and my husband who is Dutch (where they can be raised somewhat dour) was a glass half-empty sort of person. He's started being much more like me and it changes his entire perspective on life and events.

Hello Lou.  This is a nice thought for today.  I make a point of seeing the glass 1/2  full and be positive about the real estate market even when it is slow and I always do just fine.

Perspective changes everything. You may think your shoes are worn out and run down until you see someone without any shoes at all.

, Lou, Lou, .... love the topic!!   There is NO room to complain about the market / economy and why it impacts you.  Understand, that it will, and you MUST adapt to change YOUR conditions... fantastic!!

I am a glass half full kind of guy, but I also understand that there are other ways of looking at things.

Lou, Once again you are right on the money with your post. It is how you look or perceive any thing or situation either from a positive or negative angle.
