Make the Choice: Attitude

So, How Was Your Day?

Choose your path to a great day.

As soon as you get up in the morning, you know it’s coming. Somebody is going to ask how your day is going. You’ll want to answer that it’s going well, but the trouble is, how do you really handle all those curveballs life keeps throwing at you? Well, when you choose to make the most of whatever comes along, your attitude may make all the difference. You can choose to act—in a positive way—rather than be acted upon (see 2 Nephi 2:26).

Maximum Happiness

“So much in life depends on our attitude. … We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness, peace, and contentment, may we choose a positive attitude.”

President Thomas S. Monson, “Living the Abundant Life,” Ensign, Jan. 2012, 4.
