"It is your attitude not your aptitude that determines your altitude." — Zig Ziglar
Attitude is everything.
It's one of the few things in life you actually control.
You can't change what happens to you.
You can't control other people's actions or decisions.
But you can choose how you respond.
Your attitude matters more than your talent, your education, your background, or your resources.
It can build businesses or destroy them.
Create opportunities or kill them.
You choose your attitude every minute of every day.
It's the one thing no one can take from you.
Control your attitude, and you control your life.
>In addition to friendship, attitude is one of the few things in life where we have a true choice.
>We cannot change what is fated to happen or the actions of events or other people. What we can change is our reaction to such things with the attitude we adopt.
>In truth, our attitude can be more important than anything we do. It can make or break families, companies, and nations. It is more important than schooling, talent, looks, or wealth.
>How we react is everything and our attitude is the choice we have; it is a choice we make every minute of every day. It is a state of mind that no one can take from us. If we are in control of our attitudes, we are in command of our lives.
>And that is the best way to live.
I struggled with this one for a long time.
An idea that made sense in my head that I couldn't make sense of on paper. A bit like 'fake it till you make it' but more 'make it till you make it'. Something about showing up even when you are not in the mood. That's what a PRO does to get PRO results.
And then I read this ...
‘Attitude follows action far more often than action follows attitude. We change our mood as a result of how we act. If you want to feel a certain way, begin by acting as if you do. On the other hand, if you truly want to accomplish something, waiting for the mood to strike is ineffective.’
I think that is a good way of saying it!
