Do You Handle Your Attitude the Same Way?
Do You Handle Your Attitude the Same Way?

Each day, it’s your choice to make. What you choose to read, watch, follow, participate in, the language you use, the comments you make, the people you hang out with.

It’s all yours.

This determines your attitude, your traveling companion through life.

Which came first, your attitude, or the list above?

Midlife Pith?

Who Knew There Was So Much "Substance" To It?
Who Knew There Was So Much "Substance" To It?

Do you have Facebook Friends that post updates about how they:

  • Can’t wait for their week to be over
  • Are so glad their day is done
  • Life stinks

Ever wonder if there’s an antidote for this negative vibe?

With Thanksgiving a week away, the antidote ought to be obvious.

Literally, I can’t wait for the alarm clock to go off, for the chance to write five new pithy posts. Yep, five-a-day blogger, full of midlife pith.

Real Life, In Real Time (seriously, I can't make this stuff up)

Just started reading Facebook updates, it’s a morning and evening routine to keep up with Family, Friends, co-workers. The very first two updates:

1. is grateful for this day!

2. I hate Mondays and getting up at 5:30am.

In our travels, and just plain old fashioned day-to-day living, aren’t we constantly reminded that our personal situation could be so much worse than it is?

The Proverbial Lightbulb Went Off

People come and people go. It happens all day, every day. I was talking to Jacob, the cab driver from Friday’s post, and continued asking him questions about his Family and business. What struck me was how rapidly his son’s attitude changed.

I asked, “What was it that so dramatically changed him into being completely interested in helping you run your business?”

Jacob said it was when he told his son the story about being smart and being wise. His son’s friend is very smart and works in IT for a computer business. So Jacob asked his son who is wise, the smart friend or the guy who owns the business?

Metaphorically Speaking

In fact, quite the opposite. So much happens in one single day that inspires, entertains, or challenges me that it seems like there’s always more to say than can be said.

Do you feel like that?

If you do, why do you think it’s so?

If you don’t, why do you think it’s not so?

Do we really have a choice, or is it not under our control?
