All about Attitude
Do you believe that most humans are innately good? Do you think each person has an awesome power to have the life he chooses? Do you seek the lesson in every good and bad experience that comes into your life? When you experience a moment of high drama, do you remember to take some deep breaths, try to depersonalize the situation, and see what there is to learn from the way the situation is unfolding? These are all examples of having a positive attitude.
When you have a great attitude, are focused on and energetically pursuing your goal, and always have a bright smile and a kind word for others, who do you think will want to align with you? Who wouldn't? You will attract everyone on your way up to the top because everyone wants to be around a winner.
Having a good attitude when life is beating up on you can be challenging. When your finances are going south, when your wife has dumped you for her personal trainer, when your car has just been keyed, it's difficult to see any good. But that is exactly the time to cultivate a positive attitude. When the darkness swirls around you, look for the light.
As the dark gets darker and more powerful, that's the best time to seek and generate light. Make yourself into a beacon of bright light and optimism. Express positive feelings and a grateful attitude for what's good in your life and let those feelings extend outward into the lives of all those you know and love. Don't give much energy to the things that aren't working for you. Try to be an observer in the drama and, as you seek whatever goodness you can find, watch how the energy begins to shift. At times, it can be positively palpable.
