After 35 years in the trenches and years of personal research, Melvin Feller MA, has proven that it is important to realize that you determine your reality by the way you respond to the outside world. When something transpires, you get to select whether it’s a positive or negative experience and therefore react accordingly.

Do you knowingly choose your attitude each day? If you’re like most people, probably not. Most of us tend to allow our circumstances determine our attitude for us. We’re in a good mood as long as we get up on time, the boss cooperates and get to work on time, or our workload is manageable, etc. This system can work fine as long as everything runs smoothly in our lives and according to our plans.
But that’s not always the case in life, is it? Circumstances don’t always adhere to our expectations. Accidents and delays happen. Spouses and bosses can be difficult to please. Vehicles break down. What happens to our attitude then? If we don’t make the effort to knowingly choose a positive attitude, we run the risk of developing a negative attitude at random.
How would our lives change if we knowingly chose a positive attitude each day? For starters, we’d feel much happier about our lives. We’d feel more motivated about pursuing our dreams because we’d believe in the possibilities for making them a reality. We’d be able to enjoy the time spent with our friends and families more, because we’d want to share our joy with others. We’d feel strong and empowered in our ability to do anything we set our minds to. We’d be able to overcome challenges with ease because we’d have a strong belief in our own skills and abilities. We would be able to love deeply and completely without fear of rejection or treachery. We would pause to enjoy the smaller, more precious moments in life, without feeling pressured to do more, be more, or prove our worthiness.
Wow, it sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Is it really possible to feel that way all the time? Yes, but probably not in the way you’re imagining it. Just because we select a positive attitude doesn’t mean that our lives will transform into smoothly-flowing works of ease and stay that way forever. Choosing a positive attitude is a process. We don’t just choose it once and expect everything to be perfect from that moment on. We will always experience setbacks, delays, accidents, frustrations, arguments, fatigue, and fears. The secret is how we select to react to these experiences. Do we want to let them ruin our day, or do we select to pick ourselves up and look hopefully to the future again? We do have the power to knowingly choose.
You may be asking what the point of a positive attitude is. If we’ll still experience negative circumstances, why bother with selecting a positive attitude? However, that’s the true beauty of the creative process. What we choose to focus on the most, we create in our lives.

By choosing a positive attitude each day, we are actually attracting more positive experiences, and reducing the probability of negative experiences. You may have noticed that each experience often determines the quality of the next experience, causing a chain reaction in our lives. If one little thing goes wrong, it can throw off our plans for the rest of the day. In this setting, it’s easy to see how a positive attitude would be powerful. Rather than allowing one little thing to ruin our day, we would be able to shrug it off and continue on without a missing a step.
Over time, this resiliency begins to strengthen and empower us, which will show through in our demeanor. We begin attracting people and experiences that more closely match our attitude, and our lives eventually transform into more confident, satisfying expressions of joy.
And it all begins with a little thing called attitude! Again, this is a process, so go easy on yourself if you’re trying to adopt a more positive attitude. Simply focus on developing a stronger awareness of your attitude moment to moment in your daily experiences, and begin choosing a more positive one more often. It takes time to realize the full benefits of this type of mindset, but it is time well-spent.
Before you know it, you’ll be one of those people you used to respect and appreciate for their tenacity and their strength, and in return your life will change in astonishing ways.
