Attitude truly is everything!

We believe the single most significant decision anyone can make on a day-to-day basis is in their attitude.  It is more important than the past,  education,  bankroll,  successes or failures, fame or pain.  . Maintaining a positive attitude keeps things   moving forward whereas as negativism  cripples  progress. A good attitude alone fuels  the inner fire while a negative one can  diminish  hope.  With a postivie, hopeful attitudes   there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great to overcome or any story too high to shoot for.  

The impact of attitude on life is often more transformative that any fact.  A bumble bee is not supposed to be able to fly because of its aerodynamic design…but it does.  Often one’s attitude can prove to be more of determining factor in who they become than  education,  money or   circumstances. 

People with the right attitude can become more  than their  appearance, giftedness or skill.  Attitude and focused intentions can   make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past nor can anyone cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  Nor do we have any control over  the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to  and 90% of people choose to react to it. That is the message we put out in our private consultations, in the groups we lead, during public speaking engagements.

We know that anything that you should have done, but didn’t, ties you to your past We ask clients if their  mental and emotional clutter getting in the way of a fulfilling life?  If it is then it may be  time to clean out the “need-to’s,” “have-to’s,” and “ought-to’s,” from your past. When you have regrets it’s tough to move forward and grow.

Put the past in the past. Return anything you borrowed. Make apologies where needed. Get your bills up to date. Send the card or gift you forgot to send. Make the phone call you need to make. Taking care of these things cleans your mental slate and eliminates any regrets or resentments you may harbor.

Now, take a deep breath; look ahead. Both your conscience, and your future vision, is clear…and you are ready to create another…Fresh Beginning!
