Attitude: Change It or Change It

ByMatthew

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain. – Maya Angelou

Whatever we focus on expands; so if you’re complaining, you’re expanding what you don’t want (or what you say you don’t want . . . ).

So, if you don’t like something, either:

1) figure out how to change it; or

2) change how you look at it (change what it means to you).

For me this begs a question:…
