Attitude Determines Our Altitude


Attitude determines our altitude! Have you ever noticed that what we think and how we act (NOT REACT) determines how high we will go or how much we will achieve? I am always amazed by people who continue to be nice and calm to others who are rude and mean. They take the upper road. Also how we approach our problems and challenges determines our outcome. We CAN turn our burdens into our blessings. Do you see the cup half empty or half full? "If life gives you a lemon, make lemonade!" You can always see something good in anything. Sometimes you have to look a little harder. Someone once said that every negative event contains within it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Instead of believing that the world is plotting to do you harm, choose to believe that the world is plotting to do you good. Instead of seeing everything difficult and hard, or challenging or negative, believe that everything is meant to enrich, empower, or advance your cause. Attitude, like happiness, is a choice. Now, we can incorporate this into everything in our lives. For instance, if you are heavy and overweight, you can say that this is an outside warning that you need to limit your caloric intake and increase your exercise routine.
