Is Your “Altitude” Determined By Your Attitude?

Do you have control over your life?

Are you getting what you want out of life?

Are you winning, (or losing)? 

If you can not answer "YES" to any of the four questions above then perhaps you need to take a good look in the eyes of the reflection in the mirror (yes, I mean you!) 

I will bet the problem is your attitude. Not just for today, but for tomorrow and the next day, and so on. It all comes down to what I call the "attitude of your mind". The attitude of your mind affects many things including the expressions of your face and impacts your internal and external physical health - it controls and regulates your entire being. 

And there's more. Your attitude determines and fuels your actions. You must realize that every action you take, no matter how big or how small, defines everything that you achieve in life. If you want to lead a great life, you have to take great actions.  

As you prepare yourself to take great actions and steps toward what you want everyday, you must begin to condition your self to always having and maintaining a great attitude. 

Think how much better you would be at everything you do, if you had a great attitude toward life. For example, if you practiced being respectful to others, no matter how they treat you, you become more respected. 

If you practiced looking for the good in others, you would begin to attract more of the good in others. If you practiced smiling more often, you will see more people smiling back at you. 

Anything you do repeatedly becomes a habit - either good or bad. There are some people that have conditioned themselves to be cynical and negative. They always question things and doubt things will work as planned. They tend to be very pessimistic and would be considered a naysayer.

 At this point many of you, especially those who have painstakingly built your life around negative habits like those above may ask: "How can I change the attitude of my mind? How can I, after months and years of discouragement and of going through the motions, suddenly conceive and carry out a plan for doing something that will change my current situation and make my life more rewarding?"  

The answer is that it can be done, and others just like you have done it. 

Even if you consider yourself of AVERAGE ability, you can be successful, independent, free of worry, and be your own master, from this point forward, if you can commit to do these things. 

• 1) Remain forever dissatisfied with what you are doing and your situation today.
• 2) Develop in your mind a belief that the word IMPOSSIBLE was not intended for you.
• 3) Build up in your mind the confidence that enables the mind to use its power. 

Instead of negativity, which is a reflection on your self, what if you tried these attitude adjustments? Imagine that every time you got out of bed to face the day, you said "YES" with an eager and enthusiastic attitude. Every time you met someone you looked for the good in them. What if you spent more time thinking about what you do want, rather than what you don't want? 

You must condition your attitude everyday for making it a great day. By doing this, you'll soon develop great habits that will have a positive impact on both your personal and professional life.
