How Is Your Attitude Affecting Your Altitude?

 

“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”~ Zig Ziglar  

 

I love that famous quote by Zig Ziglar! I believe that it holds a lot of truth. Your attitude may be the single most important factor in what you accomplish (or don’t accomplish) in life.

 

Fortunately, I grew up in a very positive household. As far back as I can remember, my mother was always reciting little positive sayings to me and those around her. Sayings such as “If you believe, then you can achieve!”, “Inch by inch, it’ll be a cinch!” and “You can do it, if you put your mind to it!”. Through that constant positive reinforcement, I developed a “sky-is-the-limit attitude”. I believe that any of us can do whatever we put our minds to!

 

Our attitudes can act like a “gift and a curse”, so to speak. I believe that if we adopt a positive attitude, then it can help take our lives to that next higher level. Consequently, if we adopt a negative attitude, then that can cause major set-backs and broken dreams. Each and everyone of us is capable of success in accomplishing whatever we want in life. Don’t let negative thoughts rob you of reaching your goals and living out your dreams!

 

Expanding on the idea of your attitude determining your altitude, make sure that your actions reflect your attitude to help you get to where you want to be. After all, “Good thoughts are no better than good dreams, unless they be executed.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson.

 

A few tips to help you reach the altitude you’re striving for:

 

Be Grateful For What You Have.

Believe That You Can Do Anything.

Remove “Can’t” From Your Vocabulary. (Replace can’t with how or will)

Surround Yourself With More Positive People. (Birds of a feather, flock together)

Don’t Be Afraid To Go After What You Want.

Remember That Stumbling Blocks Can Be Turned Into Stepping Stones To Get You To The Next Level!
