One of the most significant steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential and to literally change the conditions of your life is to learn to monitor your outlook and its impact on your personal
performance, relationships, and everyone around you. To be clear, your outlook is largely responsible for the way you see life and is driven, in large part, by the attitudes you develop along the way. Far too many people fail to recognize the critical role that attitude plays in the construct and quality of their life experiences.
“We are not defined by our circumstances, but rather by the CHOICES we make in spite of our circumstances.” ~ G. Westfal
I typically begin most of my speaking presentations and coaching encounters by asking a fundamental question:
What attitude did you bring to this meeting?
Quite often, this question comes as a surprise to most people. In truth, people generally don’t have a high level of awareness when it comes to their attitude. It’s something they have become so accustomed to that they have unknowingly adopted their “default attitude” as part of who they are. They’ll know if they’re hungry or if they’re uncomfortable, but they usually don’t have a grasp on the state of their attitude or the manner in which it affects virtually every area of their life.
Attitude is Everything
Attitude governs the way you perceive the world and, perhaps even more profoundly, the way the world perceives you. So, if attitude is so important, how do we manage it?
The good news is that we can manage it through the one power no one can ever take from us—the power of choice. We can either choose an inner dialogue of self- encouragement, determination, and self-motivation or we can choose one of defeat and self-pity. Choice is a power we all possess.
Admittedly, we all experience difficult times, disappointments, rejection, heartache, and physical and emotional pain. The key is to realize it’s not
what happens to you; it’s how you choose to respond to what happens that matters most.
We are blessed with an amazing mind that can be programmed to accomplish nearly anything we desire in life, to include the outlook or attitude we possess. Don’t care for the hand you’ve been dealt? Take action to re-configure the default outlook you currently have on life. Your efforts to reprogram will have a profound, life-altering effect on the way you see things. Following this course offers far more assurances than the alternative.
