Have checked your attitude lately?
It's a bit like an oil check. Stick the dipstick in and check your attitude. Are the results clean, golden and reaching the top bar on your stick or did your check reveal a thick, black, dense muck running on empty?Your attitude is the only thing standing between you and ultimate success.
Your natural ability to do something has nothing to do with how far you can go. The heights you can reach are determined only by your attitude.
We took our niece to see 'Happy Feet 2' in 3D yesterday. I would have seen it without taking a kid along because I love the theme that runs through these movies. Wide-eyed youngsters believing they can achieve anything without any need of proof. Perfect examples of what a 'positive mental attitude' looks like.
How do we lose that attitude?
Did someone ever tell you, "You can't do that", "You'll never make that work", "These things never work" and my favorite, "Yeah good luck with that!".
How did you handle it? Did you rise above it or did you wimper beneath its contempt?
Sometimes our fear of rejection, criticism, disapproval or being laughed at eats into our attitude and we question ourselves. We start to question our lofty goals and wonder if they might be right. It's a small nagging fear that if left unchecked will fester in your mind until you can no longer see the vision you had for yourself.
In order for you to protect your attitude from negativity you must know two things:
a) The opinions of others are not nearly as important as your opinion of yourself.
The opinions of others are actually in most cases opinions of themselves. "You'll never make it" is their way of revealing that in life they believe they'll never make it. "You can't do that" actually translates to "I can't do that".
Understand this and it will set you free.
b) Nine times out of ten people are not actually thinking anything about you at all. They're too busy thinking about themselves and wondering what YOU are thinking of THEM!
So with this knowledge in mind, how far do you want to soar? Where do your dreams take you?
Tony Robbins is one of my favorite motivational coaches and in the study of NLP they have a belief that goes like this: "Possible in the world, possible for me, it's just a question of how."
If you don't know anything about Tony Robbins and you want to soar like an eagle, buy his book, "Awaken The Giant Within". It's powerful stuff. Any limiting belief you've ever had about yourself can be eliminated through reading this book. I guarantee it!
But this one main belief is all about your attitude. If someone else out there has achieved a particular result, and you want that result, all you have to do is work out how they got that result and then do what they did. Pretty simple stuff huh?
So whatever it is you want to achieve, get your attitude into a place of "I CAN DO THIS!" and then work out how someone else did and DO IT!!!
No-one that can stop you from achieving your dreams except YOU.
So I ask you now, what would you do with your life if you knew that anything is possible?
Would you become an astronaut, a brain surgeon, an inventor, a Formula 1 race car driver, a photographer, a florist, a wedding planner, a property developer, an art curator or a damn good network marketer who writes damn fine blogs?
Who would become if you knew that you could achieve anything?
It's only your attitude in life that will determine your altitude.
Go fly! You have a voice and you have a gift. Share it!
