Attitude is Everything

Attitude is Everything...
I am going to start with a few quotations from some people I am sure you have heard of.

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
Thomas Jefferson

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
Albert Einstein

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Winston Churchill

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.
Earl Nightingale

Through out history smart men and women, world leaders, teachers and motivators have been telling us about the power and importance of a good and positive attitude.  To be the best person, spouse, parent, salesperson, business owner, student, child that we want to be, its imperitive that we strive to cultivate a positive attitude.
In today's world of stress, and negativity, its more important than ever before that we realize how important having a good attitude on a daily basis is for our everyday life.  We hear continually how important it is in our life to avoid stress. We have factual evidence showing how stress affects our mind, our heart and our bodies in general.  Most stress can be eliminated or at least subdued and calmed if we just learn  how to maintain a better level of positivity in our attitude.
It's almost impossible to be controlled and dominated by stress, when feeling and believing positivilly about life on a day by day basis!  Conversly it's very difficult to enjoy a stress free life when you give in to the negative attitude that wants to drag you down  and keep you there.
In sales it's not your job to make your client have a better attitude. In your home its not your spouse or your kids or your parents who need an attitude adjustment.  Your goal is to strive to be the one with a great attitude, and by doing so lift the spirits of those around you.
Do we yearn to be around those who are negative and depressed, angry and bitter or do we gravitate quickly and excitedly to those who are upbeat and positive and smiling and seemingly beaming sunshine on a regular basis?
Attitude is everything! And YOU are in control of it.  Don't let your surroundings or circumstances be the factor that controls your attitude. Decide to be happy and optimistic and encouraged even if the world around you doesn't seem to be cooperating, and sharing in your effort.
It's easy to have a great attitude when things are going splendid.  The trick is to maintain that attitude in the face of difficult world, when things don't seem to be going so well.  Make your world better by lifing it and those around you into a higher place!  You can do all of that by living, and cultivating a life of being centered by a positive, excited, vibrate attitude, enjoying life and all its wonder.
Do you want more sales?  A happier home?  A harmonious work place?
Focus on YOUR positive attitude and watch what happens.
Finally, have an ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE!
Spend some time daily, in the morning, when you are running or walking, when you are in the shower or in the car going to work. Spend some time daily thinking of all the things you are grateful for.  All the big things, the little things, the people, everything in your life you are thankful that you have.  Do this, daily, have an  Attitude of Gratitude, and it will be virtually impossible to be in a bad mood or have a negative attitude no matter what the circumstances around you might be.
Attitude is Everything.. It is the foundation, the building block to being a better professional, family member, worker, and over all person...
One of my favorite quotes I once read is this.
Do the day! Before the day does you!
Start each day with a great attitude...
And do the day!!
Michael
