When I was a young woman my father would always remind me that the things I do and say are decisions that I am making for my life and that those decisions would shape my future life, both positively and negatively.
Wroten & Associates wrote in their September 2011 Leadership Insight article, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that human beings can alter their life by altering their attitudes.
Americans from generations past to present have always believed in the power of the mind and the spirit to create a great life, by pursuing happiness and overcoming adversities and fear.
The American attitude has always been, "We will win, we will succeed."
As a culture we have faced and overcome adversity and challenges from both outside and inside our borders because of our unity. We embrace competition, whether it physical or mental, and are comfortable working and playing hard to achieve our goals.
Sadly, in recent years, Americans have allowed negative voices to take them into dark places where hate, fear, malice, and injustice live; and in these places, creativity and strength cannot live.
As Americans plug into television sets filled with negative messages, radios blasting self deprecating music, and video games focused on killing, it is irrational to blame others for our failed lives.
We need to take the control of our minds back from those who would rape us of our positive attitudes. Now is the time for Americans wake up and smell the fresh air of positive thinking, and let the strong desire of creativity take over our lives again.
We are innovators. We are inventors. We are creators and trendsetters.
The mature people in American must act. There is a financial debt that will be left to our children and grandchildren as well as a moral and psychological debt that can have implications for generations to comeAmericans need to embrace positive messages in order to transform this country back to being the land of success, love, and happiness where the people are brave and free.
It's time to say no to negative words and actions and yes to a positive life and get America back on track ... America, Our Home Sweet Home.
