English

Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Saying
***It really does get right down*** to making the choice to see things from a half full versus half empty mentality. Make the choice to see the positives and that's exactly what you'll notice more of.
I am not sure about what that means exacly. Could someone put that part in other words for me?
Thanks in advance for your help

After you eliminate all the extraneous talk...
I usually see this as "It comes right down to ..." and means that once you really examine the situation, the only choice you have is ....(to see things...)
All the other 'choices' you may think you have are really illusory, not there. Only this one matters.

: IMO the author confused 'get down to work' with 'it comes down to'.
