Have you ever heard such a saying? ‘Your attitude determines your altitude?‘ That is so true and if we are willing to take that saying seriously it will help us a whole lot to move even further in our life and achieve greater things than we have ever achieved!!!
There are lots of things that we do not have control over but we do have control over our response to those things. I remember watching the FIFA World Cup 2006 final between Italy and France and we saw a perfect example of attitude being displayed. One Italian seemed to insult one of the French and then the Frenchman headbutted the Italian causing himself to be sent off the game and possibly costing his side the World Cup. What makes it bad is that this Frenchman was a Legend in the game of Football and this was his last game and this is how he will be remembered!!!
I am sure that you have witnessed many times in your life how attitude determines altitude. Someone once said that it’s not what happens to us that is important but what we do or how we respond to what happens to us that makes all the difference!!!
One man says ‘I am not giving any money to that bum cause he probably has a lot of other money that he begged for throughout the day,’ while another man freely gives him the money knowing that he has done a good turn for that day.
To be successful you need to have a success attitude and to be unsuccessful you need a negative attitude. One person goes to a job and says ‘I hate the boss, I hate the people, I hate the work, it all stinks!!!’ while another person says that even though they may not like the way the boss operates they have money coming in each month, they live close to their workplace, they get a pension plan etc.
The same situation but different attitudes. Your attitude determines your altitude!!! I want to encourage you to work on your attitude. The greatest part of our happiness depends not on our positions but our dispositions!!!
