My own thoughts part 2

The truth of the matter.

Appearance may be reflection of your mood, but attitude is a reflection of self.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Attitude isn't simply a state of mind, its a reflection of self and what we as an individual value. Its more than just saying "I can", it's believing you can.

It requires believing before seeing, because seeing is based on circumstances, believeing is based on faith which in turn is based on ideas. And ideas are what the future is made of.

Attitude is contagious, especially when we allow it to turn our doubts of the past into passions of today and set the stage for out tomorrows.

We have total ownership of our attitude. No one else can ever gain the power to alter our attitudes without our permission. Our attitde allows us to become more empowering than money, to rise above our failures and accept others for who they are and what they say. It is more important than "giftedness" and is the fore-runner of all skills needed for happiness and success.

Our attitudes can be used to build us up or put us down . . . the choice is yours.

It also gives us the wisdom to know, that we cannot change events of the past.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to ME, 15% what happens to others and 75% how I react to it, because nothing we do is predestined, there are many different possible futures and we are constantly choosing ones that will lead us to the ultimate end.

And it is with this state of mind that I remain in charge of not only MY life, but of my attitude aswell.
