Attitude

I am currently reading a book by John C. Maxwell called, "Make Today Count". Which I have found is pretty darn good already and I am only on chapter one. And by the title, it's about Attitude. I just felt like sharing some things that stood out to me in this first little bit. It speaks volumes.

"What you become is the result of what you do today"

"You don't make decisions because they're EASY
You don't make decisions because they're CHEAP
You don't make decisions because they're POPULAR
You make decesions because they're RIGHT."

Attitude:

"Your attitude is a choice."

"If you want today to be a good day, you need to take charge of the way you look at it."

"Appreciation isn't a matter of taste or sophistication. It's a matter of perspective."

Eliminate these words: I can't, If only, I don't think, I don't have the time, Maybe, I'm afraid, I don't believe

Say these instead: I can, I will, I know, I will make the time, Absolutely, I'm confident, I'm sure.

This book just really speaks about how your decisions today- yes today, as in Feb 5th, 2011 impact your future. That whatever decision you make now IS preparing you for something. You ask what that something is? Well, take a look at your decision and where it can lead you if you choose to do the right thing.
