A cute, simple, attention-getter story that gives a new perspective on LIFE and ATTITUDE. When you read it, it is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and everyone you tell it to.
LIFE…what’s your first feeling or thought whenever you hear that word? Do you sigh when you think of your never-ending to-do-list or does your heart overflow with gratitude for the life you have been given? Are you saddened or do you feel joy when you think of where life has taken you?
One of my favorite life quotes is by Charles Swindoll when he said…
How are you reacting to your life? Is it everything you dreamed it would be or could it use a little revamping?
More times than not, people are not 100% satisfied with their life, and naturally so, because life can be hard! Sometimes we are thrown some curve balls that even the cheeriest Pollyanna’s in the world have a tough time reacting positive to.
How does one change things? Life isn’t always changeable. As much as we wish we could wiggle our noses like Samantha on Bewitch or wave a magic wand, sometimes we are stuck with what life has thrown at us.
That leaves us with only one place to start, and that is our ATTITUDE.
The following story, though humorous in form, is a perfect example of this:
There once was a woman who woke up in the morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. “Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” So she did and had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. “Hmmm,” she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.” So she did and she had a great day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.“Well,” she said, “today I’m going to wear my hair in a ponytail.” So she did, and she had a fabulous day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head. “Yay!” she exclaimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”
Attitude – the secret to a happy life. Start out your day with a cheery disposition, with an I’m-so-happy-to-be-alive smile on your face, and just watch how magically the world will change around you. LIFE as you know it will never be the same again!
