Make a Difference

I came across a quote that I have been a fan of for many years and it credited to Einstein.

"Creativity is intelligence having fun."

With it being the weekend and still having a Sunday to apply this to, I offer some ideas to get started.

With today being Valentine’s Day our quote has meaning on 2 different levels: 1st for those of us who are looking for a unique and creative gift for our spouse or significant other, and 2nd for our daily pursuit of the study of attitude and self improvement. I will leave it to you to apply it in the best manner for you today 🙂

To Live a creative life, we must loose our fear of being wrong. – Joseph Pearce

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.” – Ermson

I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better. Abraham Lincoln

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. Albert Einstein

To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right. Confucius

Have you ever tried to put things in order when your attitude is out of order?

The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood. Voltaire

There is a lot of truth to setting your attitude 1st thing in the morning.

Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are. James Allen

Today’s quote really caused me to look at alignment in the teams of people I work with and how important the culture between the team and core values is to achievement; this can transfer to your personal life as well.

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.” - Roy T Bennet

Gandhi’s quote to start this week was powerful but today’s quote expresses this in the most simple of terms: the relationship between choice and attitude can not be overstated.
