I have been inspired by my friend, Coach Andy Lausier, to replace “have” with “get” in my vocabulary (https://www.facebook.com/fromhavetoget/). There is a list of replacements I would encourage using:
–“have” with “get”
–“can’t” with “can”
–“loser” with “learner”
–“failure” with “lesson”
–“job” with “vocation”
–“dream” with “goal”
–“goal” with “vision”
–“division” with “diversity”
–“enemy” with “friend”
–“obstacle” with “opportunity”
–“weakness” with “opportunity”
–“challenge” with “opportunity”
–etc. [Comment on what you might add.]
One’s attitude shapes one’s attitude. Moreover, one’s gratitude shapes one’s attitude. We alone choose how we respond to our circumstances. Choose wisely. Carpe momento!
