A Change in Attitude is the Solution to a Problem

Inspirational Power Quote


A Change in Attitude is the Solution to a Problem


“There can only be one solution to any problem;
a change in attitude and in consciousness.

Through the power of consciously focusing on
the things that we create in our imagination,
we give them the ‘nudge’
that brings them through the barrier
from the unreal to the real.

And herein we find the secret of propelling
our heart’s desires from the state
of imagination to the reality of our everyday lives:
It’s our ability to feel as if our dreams
have already come to life,
our wishes are fulfilled,
and our prayers already answered.”
Gregg Braden, New York Times best selling author and Visionary

As I see it. . . . . . . .
We see the world through our attitude; it controls our thoughts, our actions, and our lives. When we change our attitude we change our world and our lives.
