@Barbara: Thanks for the kind words. It’s definitely not easy being a parent, but I’m glad for the experience. (Let’s see if I feel this way when they’re teenagers!)

@Catherine: I totally agree. So much of our conflicts arise from bad or negative attitudes.

Hi Nez - these are great things to teach your kids. Number 4 is so true. It's really difficult to want to help someone when they come to you with a negative attitude to begin with. Cath Lawson's last blog post..Does Your Business Feel Like A Prison?

Hi Nez,

Another great post with a great message. Your sons are fortunate to have a dad that teaches them how a shift in attitude will get them further in life.

If only we could bottle it.

That is interesting Nicole (if I may call you Nicole) as maybe if you realized that you are not at all insignificant perhaps you would be smiling all the time!

Very well stated and an excellent reminder that of course we ALL need...no matter how often we try and look on the bright side. We attract that which we reflect. Ultimately nothing is really that important to sacrifice your attitude for. Sometimes I will feel completely overwhelmed like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, and then I remind myself how completeley insignificant I am in the grand scheme of things, and that always seems to cheer me right up!

I guess that is one way of looking at it – though not the first example that would have jumped to mind.

When you give positive – you get positive
When you get positive – you give positive

Hi Benny,

That’s a great a point. It’s like the “vicious cycle” we hear about in abusive relationships, except it’s no longer vicious.

Thanks for stopping by.

The biggest reason is that when you give positive you get positive. When you get positive you give positive. The whole give and take / consume and produce issue is something I just finished writing about. Maybe it can help you and your readers? Or possibly just a cool debate that is going on; but you and your actions are so much more beneficial to you and everyone else when they are positive!
