Your teachers used to tell you when you were in school to change your attitude. Some of my high school friends heard it a lot. And now I can tell you attitude makes a huge difference in your life. How do you see the world? How do you see the half full glass? Or is it the half empty glass?

This old world has enough dark and dank places and things in it already. How do you see the good in mankind? Maybe it’s not mankind we should look at. Let’s see each of us as individuals. Who has the most friends? Who seems the happiest? Yes, you are right. It’s the one with the most smiles and happiness. And that is not always the one with the most money or the best looks.

So how do we change our attitude like we were told many years ago? How can we end up being the happy, smiling one even if our personality isn’t like that? First, it takes a heart changing decision and the will to see it through. The first decision you make is to let God and all His love into your heart. Just with that alone, your outlook will change. This decision is an all or nothing proposition. God doesn’t want half of your heart. And you won’t be happy if that’s all you give Him. The next thing to do is just be yourself. Don’t be something you’re not. You won’t be happy if you are not yourself. And lastly, train yourself to see good in others and to look for the good in things. Do all this and see what happens in your life. I predict a total transformation.

You are worth it. God thinks so. He sent His Son to die just for you. Yes, just for you. It’s time to put on your smile and start living your good life!
