The Impact of Positive Attitudes

“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us,

but by how we react to what happens;

not by what life brings to us,

but by the attitude we bring to life.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of

positive thoughts, events and outcomes.

It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results.”

Successories

“We are limited, not by our abilities,

but by our vision.”

“We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision.”

“Unless you start with a positive attitude,

you will surely end without one.”

“If you don't like something change it;

if you can't change it,

change the way you think about it.”

Mary Engelbreit

“So often time it happens,

we all live our life in chains,

and we never even know

we have the key.”

The Eagles, "Already Gone"

“Every thought is a seed.

If you plant crab apples, don't count

on harvesting Golden Delicious.”

Bill Meyer

“Blessed is he who expects nothing,

for he shall never be disappointed.”

Benjamin Franklin

“To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.”

Ken S. Keyes, Jr.

“I don't like that man.

I must get to know him better.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The greatest discovery of my

generation is that a human

being can alter his life by

altering his attitude.”

William James

“We awaken in others the same

attitude of mind we hold toward them.”

Elbert Hubbard

“Sometimes life's Hell. But hey!

Whatever gets the marshmallows toasty.”

J. Andrew Helt

“The test of a first-rate intelligence is

the ability to hold two opposed ideas

in the mind at the same time, and still

retain the ability to function. One

should, for example, be able to see

that things are hopeless and yet be

determined to make them otherwise.”

F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Positive thinking won't let you do anything but it will let you

do everything better than negative thinking will.”

Zig Ziglar

“If you have the will to win, you’ve achieved half your success;

if you don't, you’ve achieved half your failure.”

David Ambrose

“People are not disturbed by things,

but by the view they take of them.”

Epictetus

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters

…compared to what lies within us.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To respond is positive,

to react is negative.”

Zig Ziglar

“Excellence is not a skill.

It is an attitude.”

Ralph Marston
