The importance of a positive attitude

by Brian on



Today I would like to share with you the impor­tance of a pos­i­tive atti­tude.

I was lis­ten­ing to Zig Ziglar and he was shar­ing this true story from his past.

He was at the air­port and he wait­ing in a very long line to check­out and there was lots of peo­ple in front of him and after he was wait­ing for quite a long time there was an announce­ment that the flight to Dal­las that they were all wait­ing on was cancelled.

He said ‘Fantastic’

Now every­one looked at him strange and the per­son in the air­port told him why he could be happy when he heard such bad news.

His reply to her was that ‘there are only 3 rea­sons why the flight to Dal­las could be can­celled. First, some­thing could prob­a­bly be wrong with the pilot, sec­ond some­thing could be wrong with the plane and third there could prob­a­bly be bad weather and if any of those con­di­tions exist I don’t want to be up there but I want to be down here.’

Now that is a man with a pos­i­tive atti­tude. He later explained to the peo­ple that with the extra time that he now has to wait he will use that to do some impor­tant writ­ing that he needs to do so it is not like he will not be able to enjoy him­self while he has to wait.

Now he could have been like most peo­ple and com­plain and get upset and start to swear but none of those things would have been able to change the situation.

We need to learn to have a pos­i­tive atti­tude in life or we will always be down and depressed for lit­tle petty things.

Win­ston Churchill said it best when he said ‘Atti­tude is a lit­tle thing that makes a big difference.’

This is the impor­tance of a pos­i­tive attitude.
