Attitude Really Is Everything
October 10, 2009
At the risk of sounding like a bad football coach or an even worse businessman motivator, the cliche’ is true, “Attitude Is Everything”.
Into every situation we bring an essential ingredient for success or failure, ourselves. We are ever present, and constantly making subtle judgments about our surroundings and the people present. Our attitude colors every one of those interactions and causes us to either accept or reject the people and ideas around us.
Our attitude is largely a result of our own self-talk, that little sound track constantly running in our heads. We are taught that we are winners, but so often people feel less than confident. Our inner self-talk reflects those feelings, and begins to come out in how we interact with others. Right now there are a lot of people who have lost a job, or are working fewer hours and making less income. These kinds of outward influences can certainly effect how we view ourselves, and it effects how we talk to ourselves.
I suggest that you are worthy. Your life situations, or even your own bad attitude, are only temporary. You are a child of God, forgiven – and worthy. There is no need to feel shame or guilt, or to carry scares of the past into the future. You are a unique creation from the creator of the universe, magnificent in your complexity and possibilities.
Don’t fall into the trap of constantly speaking what you have and where you are, let your inner voice lead you to something new – something unseen. Believe in something great and move in that direction.
I challenge you to change your inner self-talk to echo a new reality. Your are worthy of so much more, capable of things so much greater. Let your self-talk speak of your destiny and direction. Let speak you to a great attitude were you see new promise. Be a child that your Father can be proud of.
