ATTITUDE is one of the secrets of life.

You’re sick or successful, sad or happy, mean or generous, brave or a coward, despised or well respected because of the Attitude you have. That is a fact.

It doesn’t matter if you think you can or can’t do something. You’ll be right.

Your Attitude will make you right whatever you think. Think about that.

You will succeed or fail, not because of the job ahead, but because of how you THINK.

Approaching any endeavor with “I’m not going to be able to do this.” is ensuring a bad job. You’ve made it so by the attitude you took. Yes talent and physical laws come into it but if it is possible to do, your attitude is the next major factor. And most of the time we underestimate what we can do.

SURPRISE YOURSELF WITH YOUR OWN ACHIEVEMENTS.

Attitude and motivation are twins. Motivation provides the right attitude and attitude feeds motivation. You’re the winner.

Remember the issue about Habits? (No.5) Habits of thought make your attitude. Continually complaining means you’ll get nowhere in life because you have an attitude only other losers have. Successful, happy, well adjusted people won’t want to know you. Isn’t it time to wake up to the fact?

Rich people associate with other rich people and get richer because they reinforce their ‘riches attitude’. A successful marriage or relationship requires work and understanding. It needs the attitude of ‘learning and growing’ not of getting your own way, fighting. Fighting is for self defense, not subjugation of the partner.

Where do we start with the right attitude? The answer is with its twin.

What is your motivation?

Ask yourself why you can’t hold a job for long. Is it because you were always told you were useless or an idiot? Don’t blame anyone! Just realize!

Your ‘success motivation’ has been over-ridden by low self esteem.

Get over this by making sure to do a really good job of something. It doesn’t have to be anything great, just a good job.

Trying to get control all the time is often motivated by lack. Gaining power covers that lack. Maybe if you faced the reason behind it, your attitude would change. You’d feel freer.

The health of your relationship comes from the observations you made growing up. Do you come from a broken home, one of continual fighting, or a loving, caring, nurturing environment? Chances are that your current relationship is like that.

Realize and change your attitude. Do something good for your partner today. Just a compliment can do it. Just saying “champ” to your son or “princess” to your daughter can make their attitude change.

You influence other peoples’ attitude. Do it for mutual good. It returns to you.

Treat other people as you would like to be treated.

What has this got to do with IQ? It’s smart to have the winning attitude. It’s the intelligent approach. It gets things done. .

I enjoy feeling satisfaction in achievement. I don’t enjoy depression. Your self worth is shown by your attitude. It’s there on display.

CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE AND YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE.

You start to become what you make in your mind, through attitude, through habits.

“We are what we think,” – Buddha

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”- Proverbs 23:7

Start dressing well. Be more polite. Learn something new. Change for your better.

Believe it and start making your future.

People are making a fortune teaching this very principal. You’ve got it right here if only you will PUT IT TO USE. They will sell a ten part course to tell you in different words exactly the same thing over and over. Some of us need repetition.

As your attitude changes; other people will respond with their attitude about you. It spreads. Just let it happen. There’s no need to push.

Now print that sentence in upper case, the one eight lines back.
