Positive Attitude

Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude

Have you ever heard the expression or saying, “Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude”? The definition of Attitude is simply “State of Mind”. What that means is how you feel about yourself, other people, and the things around you. Most happy and successful people have a very positive state of mind. They even see problems as opportunities to succeed instead of challenges. So it is very important to understand that how we think, or our state of mind develops our attitude, and our attitude will determine how happy and successful we are in life. 

Did you know that you control your own attitude in a big part, simply by the things that you say? Words have a great power! Using negatives words often like, I Can’t, I Hate, I Won’t, I Quit, will unknowingly cause you to develop a negative or bad attitude. The more you use these words, the less productive and happy you will become.

The rest of this week I want to challenge you to notice how often we use negativity with our words. Even ask our friends and parents to write down every time we use negativity in the things we say. And I want you to understand that the first step in developing a happy, successful, winning, and positive attitude is within yourself.
