Copping An Attitude

By Greg Hickman

"Attitudes are more important than facts."
Karl A. Menninger

Without question, the most important possession you carry around with you in your day to day travels and adventures is your ATTITUDE. Regardless of whether it’s good, bad or somewhere in between, your attitude shapes your day and molds your future. The type of attitude you embrace daily can literally make you — or break you.

 

Having a great attitude day in and day out is somewhat akin to holding keys to the world’s richest vault. With a super attitude in place, you’re able to see and then seize opportunities as they unfold right before you. With a super attitude to guide you, it can pave your path to greatness. With a fabulous attitude as your constant companion, there’s nothing on earth that can hold you down or hold you back.

 

 

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."
Thomas Jefferson

 

It’s not always easy to maintain an optimistic outlook and positive approach to life. With the hustle and bustle pace we must maintain nowadays, there seems to be an endless parade of distractions, misadventure and uncertainty tossed in our paths. If allowed to do so, these daily challenges can catch us off guard and throw us off track, eroding our confidence and putting a big dent in our dreams. Before long, a lousy attitude can take over and assume control of our lives. Like a heavy anchor tied to our feet, a bad attitude can drag you straight to the bottom.

 

We sometimes fail to recognize just how important our attitudes are in overcoming life’s most troubling times. It shouldn’t surprise any of us that a lousy attitude tends to paint an equally lousy future. And a negative attitude leaves us susceptible to just about everything negative in life. There’s nothing good in a bad attitude.

 

 

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."
Winston Churchill

 

Earl Nightingale, one of the pioneers in the world of positive thinking, said, "Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us." He couldn’t have stated it better. Like it or not, our attitudes determine our fate and our futures. If we truly believe that life is full of good times and abundant opportunity, it will overwhelm us with more richness than we’ve ever imagined.

If we look at our world as one of limitless potential, where anything and everything is indeed possible, then the sky is truly the limit. With a rock solid ‘I can do it’ attitude in place, nothing can shake you or break you.

 

 

"We have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day."
Cjarles Swindoll

 

Lou Holtz said, "Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." Could your attitude get a little better, maybe even a whole lot better? Wouldn’t you dearly love to squeeze more fun, excitement and enjoyment from life each and every day? Can you possibly imagine how spectacular your life can become if you consistently looked at the brighter side of things?

 

It’s time to cop an ATTITUDE — a super powerful, super sensational, super charged positive attitude, that is. Hey, why in the world should you settle for less than the very best life has to offer any longer? You shouldn’t. So why not give that sorry attitude the boot once and for all and substitute a power packed positive attitude in it’s place? As Zig Ziglar says, "It’s your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your attitude." Why not take charge of your life by embracing a positive attitude and start flying high today?

 

The Bottom Line: When you grab a positive attitude, you’ll be surprised at just how fast it’ll grab you.
