Your Attitude Is The GPS To Your Life

Bad Day? It's All in Your Head

Your Attitude Is The GPS To Your Life
Alfield Reeves

"Today's just not my day" is a phrase we all use every now and then. It's okay, that's apart of being a human. That's apart of having feelings, both good and bad. I'm going to say that one more time, that it's okay. In fact, you're okay. But be sure to keep in mind, a bad day doesn't equal a bad life.

Whenever you feel like your day is just going totally sour, give yourself a pep talk. It can be out loud or just in your head. You could even write it down on a piece of paper. In order to change your bad day into a good one you're going to have to convince yourself.

Speak your positive attitude right into existence. Tell yourself you can make it through the day because you can. Talk to someone that always makes your day. Buy your fav fast food, take a new route home for different scenery- but whatever you do, don't allow yourself to go to bed frustrated.

We have these icky days to appreciate the ones that feel perfect. The ones that we go to sleep smiling about. The ones we share with people around us that we care about. As I mentioned earlier, it's normal you feel this way. It's so easy to think negatively sometimes. But just as easy as it is to tell yourself how crappy your day is, it's just as easy to tell yourself that it's a great day.

Your attitude is like the GPS in your car. It directs you. Just like the GPS in your car, you can adjust/ change your attitude. The more positive thoughts you have, the better the road is you travel on. The better life gets.

There are a lot of things in life we will never be able to change, but our attitudes will always be up to us.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
