Attitude

"People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude."
John C. Maxwell

People today are ruled by their feelings. If they feel Angry, Betrayed, or in Love; how they are feeling at that moment when crisis or tragedy comes their way is how they are going to react to the situation.
Step back and think: How are you reacting to everyday situations when your boss is on your back or you have had your feelings hurt by someone you care about (because that is the worst kind of hurt)?? Are you 'killing the messanger'?? Are taking your 'feelings' out on a situation that really doesn't matter??


Attitude. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I am irritated before I even roll out of bed. I have recognized the signs, so before I ruin my whole day by having a 'bad attitude' I stop and think. What is wrong with me?? What happened that gave be this 'bad attitude'??
My dad calls me the 'Queen of Attitude', and when I am not in the mood for his...helpful advice, I argue. According to my Dad (& this makes complete sense) denying you have an attitude means you do indeed have an attitude.

at·ti·tude
noun
1.manner, dispositionfeeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; 
tendency or orientation,especially of the mind:

"A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.'"
Wade Boggs 

Your attitude can and will define you. So it is up to you, 
Is it is going to be a bad day or a good day??
