As children, when it would rain, we would beg our parents to go outside and play. We loved to dance and play in the rain, splashing in every puddle we could find. Then, as adults, we learned to detest the rain. We complain about the rain, we rush to get through it as fast as possible to our destination.

Back in February 2009, I began a full court press to my own personal development. I had been in quite the rut. Recently, I have noticed a profound change in myself. I can remember just a few years ago, being at a Renaissance Fest and it was raining. I was cranky and miserable and hated being out in the rain (my bad attitude might also have had something to do with the company I was with).

But now, recently, I have found myself watching the rain outside with joy, even standing outside in the rain and loving it, finding peace with it. And it all has to do with my attitude towards it. I have reverted back to my child-like wonder at it. I am a much more happier and content person now. It’s amazing what a little attitude shift can do for a person.

If you want to feel more alive, be grateful for the things around you (good or bad everything has a lesson to teach), keep a positive focus, and practice positive thinking. I am very thankful that I have started to think positively again, it’s opened up a whole new world that I thought I had lost access to.

Embrace Life for all that it has to offer you and Create Your Greatest Day!
