Thoughts for today

   It is not just WHAT we get done in this world that matters, but HOW we get it done, that can make all the difference. It is the quality of a gift that makes it precious, not the quantity. And what will matter most when we get to the end of this life is how much love or care we put into everything we did. This is related to the motivation of our heart and mind.  

All of this depends mainly upon our attitude in life. Attitude is defined as “a manner of acting, feeling, or thinking that shows one's disposition, opinion, etc.” A healthy, balanced attitude can make all the difference in changing this life from a frustrating or unpleasant struggle to an exciting, fulfilling and self-transcending adventure. A positive mental attitude, as opposed to a healthy attitude, is a more popular term, but as long as you remain balanced. The danger is getting to a stage of not believing that anything bad can happen, a bit like Pollyanna. This can cause us to become complacent or naive, lacking vigilance where it is needed.
