July 12, 2024: Attitude is All
"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."
⁃ Winston ChuArchill
I must respectfully disagree with Sir Winston in his assessment of attitude as a "little thing. " Of all the things that influence our success or failure in life, our success or failure in relationships, and even our success or failure in school, nothing is more monumentally important than our attitude. We can literally change our attitude towards a person or a situation, and in that very same instant, everything is transformed from where we were to where our changed attitude takes us, whether good or bad. I am at a loss to think of any other aspect of living that has anywhere near the impact of a change in attitude. The profundity, the weight of our attitude toward determining the quality of our life, generally, even the quality of our day-to-day happiness is almost entirely dependent on our attitude toward ourselves and our present situation.
We should all remember that our attitude is the Rudder that guides our ship of life through the stormy seas, through the calm seas, through the beautiful seasons and the dark seasons of life. By paying close attention to our attitude and doing our best to keep it positive, we are managing the greatest determinant of our enjoyment and fulfillment in life; OUR ATTITUDE!
