Change Your Attitude With One Action

So you want to change your attitude? What is the definition of attitude anyway? It's the collection of your beliefs, your feelings, your views, and your disposition at every single moment in your life. I once heard it described as your judgment on events and circumstances. I found this an interesting way to interpret one of the most complex but powerful traits that define you.

Let's get real shall we? Your attitude is a mental thing. You feed and exercise it every single day - the result is either negative toxic garbage, positivity, or somewhere in between. Personally, I believe most of us are somewhere in between. We have good days and bad days.

After a while, your attitude develops into a habit - subconsciously driving your thoughts, actions, and behavior. It's powerful - it's influence over your life is consuming. That's why you often hear the wise words, "attitude is everything." More importantly, your attitude determines your altitude. Don't believe it?!?! Then stop for a minute and think about where you are in life right now.

Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It's in our hands. ~ Cathy Better

Think about your successes, your failures, your accomplishments, your disappointments.....are you satisfied? Are you earning the income you'd like to have? Are you living the life you've dreamed? Well guess what? Reflect on your attitude....it's the culprit. Good, bad, or gray; positive, negative, or murky. Your success in life depends on your willingness to take a good hard look at your attitude. You need to do this if you seriously want to change your attitude.

Now here's the kicker. Most people with crappy attitudes don't even know it. They don't believe they have a problem. As far as they are concerned, it's other people with the problem. Then there are people who believe your attitude is either positive or negative. Like people don't experience both? That's another thing about your attitude - it can deceive you if you're not careful. The good news is there is one thing you can do to change your attitude for the better.

There are some wise words about attitude by Charles Swindoll that I'd like to share with you. I've had his attitude wisdom hung on my refrigerator for over six years. It's serves as a daily reminder of the choice I have already made.

Charles Swindoll Attitude:

The longer I live, the more I realize that impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important that the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than faiures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company....a church...a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past....we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude....I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you....we are in charge of our attitudes.

So what are you going to do? What choice will you make? Either you make the decision to take charge and change your attitude or let your attitude take charge of you for the types of change you really don't want or need. Either way....the results are life altering.
