PMA

Good morning and hello again.  Wow, suddenly Monday is upon us and we are challenged to rise to the occasion and seize the opportunities of the new day and this week.  RISE to the possibilities of taking the high road especially when you encounter people who throw negatives at you or are mean to you and your response could easily be negative right back.  INSTEAD choose to respond with a humorous or humble approach and watch them melt.

 

 

Many of you have hears of PMA, no not Positive Mental Attitude, but what I call Proper Mental Attitude.  So what's the difference?  Allow me to explain:

 

Optimism is a great quality, and positive people are optimistic people.  I find that when optimism and realty connect, the way we respond to the road blocks/brick walls in life is the difference between these two kinds of attitude.

 

When a person goes through life with a Pollyanna-life is positive-everything is going to work out great mindset, there comes a time when reality comes in and sometimes that reality really is not so positive...in fact, it really does bite, and then, there goes the optimism...In my opinion, it is a better strategy to approach life what i call a PROPER MENTAL ATTITUDE.

 

The one with a proper mental attitude encounters roadblocks, barriers, breakdowns and negatives with an attitude of knowing that negatives are coming, are real, and are painful, and they know it is wise to find a creative and innovative ways to take the negatives and turn it into a positive experiences.

 

Expect, anticipate, and prepare for the glitches, challenges, issues, and conflicts that will occur.  Look for the GOOD in the bad.  It is there...You just gotta dig for it.  If we choose to be proactive in our thinking this way, we are living with a Proper Mental Attitude and have the "right kind" of attitude to live a rich, full and happy life.   This is from a good friend of mine-Bob Prentice.

 

"Nothing can stop a person with the right Proper mental attitude from achieving their goals; nothing can help the one with the wrong Proper Mental Attitude.  

 

"We cannot change our past.  We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way.  We can not change the inevitable.  The ONLY thing we can do is play on the one string we have:  and that is our attitude"`~Charles R. Swindoll

 

May your day and week be filled with the "Proper Mental Attitude" and filled with many blessings!
