For over twenty years I have been leading personal transformation workshops as well as consultative selling, leadership and change management workshops. I found the top 10 percent have something in common...“A Positive Attitude”
It does not matter about how old you are, where you live, your occupation, or the ways you choose to spend time, I can guarantee that your attitude is one of the most significant things that determines your happiness and contentment in life.
Attitude is so powerful because it is one of the few things that every person has the ability to be in control of regardless of any other factors in life.
When life is going well and we have no complaints we can choose what kind of attitude to face each day with. Fortunately, when our lives seem like they couldn't get any worse we can also choose what kind of attitude we will have each day.
Think about a time in your life when your attitude made all the difference? Or, think of an example from the life of someone you know.
Can you think of a situation when all things looked bad and yet you or someone else's attitude made that situation better just by being positive?
You may be wondering why it is important to keep a good attitude despite all the other factors in your life. Good question.
One thing I've learned about life is that it will not always go my way. It is highly unlikely that everyday for the rest of my life will be filled with joy, friendships, and peace. It is possible, but highly unlikely.
It is much more likely that life will throw me things I wasn't expecting. Work issues, tragedies, sicknesses, and relationship problems will come my way and it will be my attitude that determines how those events affect me.
Keeping a good attitude in life allows us to remember that even in tough times we have much to be thankful for.
If you let your attitude reflect this perspective instead of reflecting the fact that you are not getting exactly what you want at a this moment.
Let your attitude reflect all the ways your life has been blessed and all the good things that has happened to you.
We have all heard it said "attitude is a little thing that can make a big difference." I agree with whoever said those words wholeheartedly, but I'll even take it a step further and simply say that attitude is a big thing.
Attitude is perhaps one of the biggest factors that determines the path and results we see in life. When we can look at the worst situations with hope and a right perspective, nothing will be too hard to overcome.
Be the Difference,
Rich
