"Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Sadness is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Greed is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. What's your choice?"
Ok I struggle with this one. To me we are hardwired with certain dispositions. So while I may do my best to be optimistic I have a friend, who is all positivity all the time just by her very nature, will out shine me in this. In other words, We won’t get the same results with the same efforts because of our inherent natures.
Also, I struggle with “happiness is a choice.” To me happiness is a feeling and you can’t chose how you feel. You can work on clearing blockages towards more clear seeing and better happiness. But I don’t think you can just paste a smile on 😁 and “choose” happiness. That’s not genuine from root or source of you.
As the quote begins with attitude is a choice I see all others as a consequence of ones attitude. And if steepshot would have posted the picture entirely you would see in the right corner "Attitude is a choice" as I consider it the core of the quote, but now you have only "is a choice". Over all, I think that attitude is the root for all of them. At least that's how it works in my case.
Maybe... maybe it all starts with and stems from attitude. That can make a powerful indifference. But I still think nature will sometimes trump nurture, or cultivated attitude.
But it takes practice. LOTS of repeated practice to maintain an attitude that’s contrary to ones nature. Like building a wall along the sea...it’s doable and will hold for a long time. But requires constant maintenance, fortification, repairs, etc. to stay upright. if left alone for long it crumbles against the never ending waves. That’s my experience personally anyways, and my observation of the sea.
