Attitude Quote by Karl Pillemer
““It’s a fact that life will hand us problems and difficulties—if that hasn’t happened to you yet, you’re lucky (and probably very young). Despite this fact, we all have the power to choose. We can make a conscious decision each day to embrace a positive attitude. It requires convincing yourself that you can wake up and decide to focus on positive emotions.””

![“If there's one thing I've discovered, it's that stifling yourself will only lead to more misery. [...] I polluted all other happiness because I was afraid to let myself create and change. You have to have courage. Real courage to explore, to fail, and to pick yourself back up again.” quote by Siobhan Vivian](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6c0/siobhan-vivian-17356_courage_if-there-s-one-thing-i-ve-discovered-it_785444.jpg)
