Attitude Determines Altitude March 10, 2007 Too often we beat ourselves up over such small things. We lose our temper as soon as things don't go our way. We worry about the future and what it will bring. We look at the world through the wrong perspective. It is all about perspective. If you believe your circumstances are bad you will feel bad about them, and they will hold you back. Take time to clear your thoughts in silence. If you are feeling bad or unhappy do something to take your mind off of what is bothering you. Take a walk, sit in a quiet place, or simply take a deep breath and rethink about what is bothering you. Your feelings are a perfect measurement of what you are thinking. Whatever brings you joy is a good thought while all other thoughts are a waste of time. Don't ignore the bad in the world but certainly don't dwell on it. Deep down, all people are good and deserve to live happy healthy lives. Thinking someone is bad or less than you are is silly because you are definitely not perfect. No one is, and no person will ever be. You can only better yourself. The constant mission of becoming the best you can be will never end. If you are not sure where your life is headed then simply do the next best thing. Use your best judgement and do what your conscience tells you to do. Listen to the little voice that is within you. It knows what is best and it is a shame that it is too often quieted by the louder voices in the world. It is all about the way you live which stems from whomever you are. What you do is not nearly as important. Actions done with the right attitude will always be a success in one way or another. It is the perspective of the individual that makes him different from all others. Many people live in bad circumstances, yet not all are unhappy. Believe in yourself. You have a purpose, and you are currently pursuing it. You must become your best. You are reading this hoping to better yourself. Put the two together and you are working toward your purpose. There is only one you so it is easily understood that only you can pursue this unique purpose. You are in control of your world, the way you perceive it. If you always look for the good you will always find it. There is only one universally common denominator between all the successes of time. They believed they could accomplish something great. They knew they deserved to be great people and to be happy. What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? This is the question these people asked. They looked at their circumstances in a favorable light so they could achieve success in every situation. Could there be more to life? Those who ask this question may be very happy, comfortable in the status quo. But they choose to believe for more. You can accept your life as it is now, or you can dream for even greater things. No matter where you are in life always dream for more. Dream on so you can carry on. When you take on the right attitude your days will be filled with more and more joy. Seeing life in the right light reveals that there is good in all bad, hope in all fear, and more blessings waiting for you just around the corner. Do you believe for more? Your attitude will determine your altitude. When you believe for more there will be more. Your life has only just begun. Joshua Schwarz
