Change Your Thoughts; Change Your Life

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.

Martha Washington (1732 - 1802)

A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.

Patricia Neal

Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.

William James (1842 - 1910)

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

William James (1842 - 1910)

OH, I LOVE these! And it's rare, but I've actually never heard any of these quotes before. :) Thanks so much for sharing them. I'm going to save this to my bookmarks, so I can come back often and read them!

GREAT quotes!

Strangly, I have to beg to differ on these. You can put on a happy face and portray a abundance of happiness, and yes, even almost convince yourself and the world of it and still be innately sad on the inside. I'm such a downer on the holidays. :(

Those are great Ally! Attitude is everything I think! You have to try to find the good in every situation, and if you can't, then you must be dead! ;) Better days are comin' girl!

I love the Albright quote...I should tattoo it on me somewhere for reference on days like this! Thanks for sharing these!

I loved the first quotation. So Aussie: funny, ironic, cynical and I think kinda true. Positive thinking is really big now in psychology but who cares. Hey, didn't Patricia Neal get Alzheimer's? Give me a wonder drug for that any time (HA,HA). I'm sure things will get better! Love, Carole
