It doesn’t matter how many books get written on the subject of attitude. People still get pessimistic. Negativity creeps in and things seem harder than they really are. Attitude really does dictate the course of your life. Manage to develop a positive attitude, and suddenly life doesn’t seem so hard.  You’ve heard the saying "you are what you eat."  Well, in reality, you are what you think.  Do yourself a favor and take the positivity challenge.  You can read more about it over at the Positivity Blog.

The Positivity Challenge is this: For 7 days you will try to only think positive thoughts. Whatever happens to you will see the good side of it and what positive things you can learn and take away from it. By the end of the week you will have started to discover the very real benefits of a positive thinking, how much negative thoughts there are both in you and the world (you might be surprised) and begun establishing a new habit to replace your old, less constructive one. And then you can continue from there.
