Fluffy Clouds are Deceiving

This morning I was on the redeye flight back from LA. We were above the clouds as the plane was descending. I love that. When you’re above the clouds and you can see the blue sky.

The clouds appear to be soft fluffy pillows. It almost makes you want to jump into them and land into a giant pile of fluff.

But the reality is that you would plummet to your death. Unless of course you have a parachute.

Perception can be very powerful. When something bad happens to us we can look at it as a negative. We could complain and moan about it. Or we can take a positive stance and find a bright side to the situation.

I’ve been noticing lately, on social media, the notion of “Is the world good today or bad today.” Or something like that. But the idea is that you have a choice. You can decide to either have a positive attitude or a negative one.

Your attitude affects how you tackle challenges and often the outcome of a situation.

The thing I find that affects my attitude the most is how I feel about myself. When I exercise and eat healthy, I feel good about myself. And my view is that the world is good.

But when I’m not feeling well, whether it’s physically or emotionally, the world is bad.

Today, the world is good. 🙂

Despite waiting for hours on the runway this morning before taking off. The fact that my hotel room heater was broken and I was shivering, waiting for the hotel engineer to resolve it. And the fact that I still don’t have my luggage (that’s another story). The world is good.

If you want to feel good and have a more positive attitude, check out my book. “Zipping It Up: How to lose 5 pounds fast – and look great in that little black dress!”

It’s available on Amazon in Kindle and in paperback. Check it out if you want to have a “world is good” attitude too.
