Let’s welcome the new year with positive attitude

It is one Wade Boggs who made the powerful observation that, “A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.” And indeed, it is amazing how such a small thing as one’s attitude can determine how they respond to a situation, good or bad.

Two people may go through a similar experience but respond completely differently based on one’s attitude. One may watch with great indifference as you writhe in pain and suffering while another will be moved to tears as they seek ways and means to assist. In a matter of hours, we will be turning our calendars into a new year. As usual, we will be crossing over into the New Year with great anticipation. Several of us will be making resolutions that should guide our plans and actions for 2019. For the first few weeks of the year, “Happy New Year” will be the common greeting on everyone’s lips, texts and emails.
