Attitude Is Everything

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

You see the glass half full or half empty? Are you one of those who can laugh at themselves and the situation, or do you dig your feet in and make yourself miserable and everyone around you miserable too?

Some people think they are positive, but if you've heard, so to speak you wonder how they ever got the idea!

Certainly little things can get under your skin, once confronted with them, and you'll probably get a normal reaction of a frustration or anger or whatever. But it is when you catch yourself and make it possible to fester, it's time for an "attitude adjustment."

One of my friends Jeff Keller wrote the book, "Attitude is everything." He was miserable for most of the first part of his life. While a successful lawyer, he was really a negative person and not many made him happy. One day he realized that it was not what has happened in zing him unhappy life that much as it was over zing hooding of everything he saw.

It speaks for itself (look at the title of his book) that he was a revelation and his whole life had changed. Now he is known to talk about that very subject!

It is difficult to penetrate to some people who walk around with the current attitude of "woe-is-me. "It is not only frustrating to interact with them, it is very sad to see to know where they are most of their misery cause itself because of the position they have chosen account.

It was not until Jeff realized that it was his attitude about everything he caused so much pain that he actually can do something.

As a fact, he had a good life, and nothing had really happened to him, but his negative attitude kept him in the victim mentality so he feels that everything and everyone against him.

In my previous blog I talked about the power of your words. Everything comes down to what you say to yourself about a certain situation.

The words you choose and how you choose to see what conditions are your feelings. It really is about choice. It's not what happens to us in life that just as how we choose to perceive counts.

As the saying goes: "You've got hell heaven or hell from heaven."

So why not learn to live with a new attitude? Why should we continue to walk down "Negative Alley" and "Life Sucks Blvd?" Choose a new path.

If you live with a bad attitude, whatever happens, you miss the fun. You miss the real joy of life, and miss you a better life. You will not laugh at yourself and you should not laugh much, because you're so busy with everything from finding fault.

So if you look around on this earth and everything is a drag, this is your wake-up call ... you are the draw!

It drags you down a path that is not worth it. You pull down your position with a negative, limiting beliefs will never allow you to truly enjoy life. And you're dragging around an aura that makes you fun to be around.

Today is the day to begin a new journey. Cop a new position. Make it better and see the whole world will start to look different. Once your attitude changes, so your opinion! Attitude is everything.
