NaBloPoMo

I have agreed to participate in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). I have only just recently heard of this and thought it would be fun. For some of my favorite blogs that I always visit, this would be nothing for them, as they usually post every day anyway. This is a big deal for me and I've already messed up as it is for the month of November and I already missed yesterday. Ugh!!

I have joined a group of writers that are participating in NaBloPoMo. Topics have been put together, should one need some daily inspiration for thoughts from the heart and soul, though the slate is clear to fill as you choose. I also would like to thank Sandy, from Sandy's Notes, for sparking my interest.

Writing has always been a passion of mine, though I do not cultivate it as I should. We all have wonderful things to say and we express ourselves in a variety of ways. I am looking forward to writing from my heart this month. For those that take a moment to read my thoughts, I thank you.

The thought for today is changing something in my life if I had the guts to do it. I am a very positive, optimistic person. I could have incredible things going on in my life, but I do not let negative things influence my outlook on life. I don't know why I am the way I am. It's not like I make a conscious decision each day to think positively. It's just something I do without even thinking about it. Life is so much easier when you face it head-on. Your attitude is everything. You can have a good day or you can have a bad day. It is what you choose, regardless of what lies in your path.

So how do you motivate a person to think positively and do something that would be good for them? Is it just a matter of a personal opinion? Is what I think would be good for someone exactly that, just what I think? Can you encourage someone to be motivated to succeed at something or does it come entirely from within each individual? I think it does. And that is a hard thing for me to accept.
