The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude.
~Dennis S. Brown~
How true is that?!!! I know that there are days when I don't like anyone or anything or I feel sorry for myself; but I don't let it show. I try and put on a smile and let the whole world think that everything is fine...and then suddenly it is fine! Change your attitude and turn a lousy day into a good day.
Have you ever done this?

I am well known at work and around my circle of friends for being the eternal optimist. People always come to me when they need cheering up. I just always seem to have a good outlook on life, even in the darkest moments.

@LindaOHio Life is too short to be moping around in a negative mood all the time. We might as well enjoy this quick ride on this rock we call home.

@LindaOHio It was a couple of years ago, but one of my knees never fully recovered.

It's hard to put on a happy face when I am anything but happy.

I am perpetually in the attitude of gratitude as I always find something to be grateful for despite having issues to handle

I have a positive attitude and it does affect a LOT of things!
But as the Bible says we will have trials in this life-but there are blessings all around them! =)

@LindaOHio Sort of. I have put on a mask to hide how I really feel but for those who know me well can see straight through it. And sometimes it's really hard to pretend to show an emotion I'm not feeling. I guess it depends on is going on exactly.

Some things in life cannot be overcome by a smile.

I know that feeling so well. There are some people that are good but there are a lot that are not. I have heard people say they prefer animals to people and I certainly can understand that. No, I do not believe I have turned a bad day into a good one.

read the works of William James (brother of Henry) - he postulated that smiling helps people feel better.

It's pretty dang clear that I have a bad attitude many days - I should work on that.

You are so right bringing this subject up. When we feel bad, it is our ego, that makes us think only about our own wellness. If we learn how to do the oposite, and think about the others, we will understand that every thing we felt as "bad" came from being selfish.

Nothing is good or bad. It only becomes what it becomes when we choose to react to it in a certain way. The same situation can affect two people in a different way.

unfortunately, that's not always the case. there are some real bad days, for each of us, that a good attitude wouldn't be able to change. and isn't even possible to have.
i'm glad you've been able to do this thoguh
