Choose your attitude
+++++++++++++++++++

Your attitude can be based on the weather, the amount of
traffic congestion, the way people treat you, or a whole lot
of other things. Or, your attitude can be exactly what you
choose for it to be.

When you turn your attitude over to other people or to
random circumstances, it's going to be volatile,
undependable and not very productive. By contrast, when you
choose your own attitude, independent of what's happening
around you, then you set yourself up to make swift and
positive progress.

Your attitude serves as a lens through which you see life,
and it's best when that lens is focused on the positive
possibilities. Your attitude can enable you to make the most
of difficult situations, to find and to create enormous
value in your world.

There is absolutely nothing that forces you to adopt one
particular attitude over another. When you get in the habit
of consciously choosing to have a positive, empowering
attitude, you become gloriously free to achieve the things
that are most meaningful to you.

Your attitude is always yours to select. Doesn't it make
sense to select an attitude that will foster peak
performance and effectiveness no matter what may be going on
around you?

Don't let anyone or anything else control something as
critically important as your attitude. Now, and always,
choose an attitude that will enable you to soar high.

Ralph Marston
