Your Attitude effects everything and everybody around you -how's yours today?
What kind of attitude did you wake up with this morning?
What kind of attitude did you greet your family with this morning?
What kind of attitude did you get to work with?
How is your attitude right now?
I love this simple quote from OG Mandino in The Greatest Salesman in the World "As long as I can laugh, never will I be poor"
Wow.
That is just so simple, yet, how many of us are thankful that we can laugh?
Viktor E Frankl in Man Search for Meaning simply says: "The last human freedom - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances"
You have total control over your attitude, no one else can do anything about it.
Yes, they can try
Yes, that can throw all kinds of roadblocks out there
But, you control your attitude
To demonstrate, let's look at a great story from that master of positive attitude, Norman Vincent Peale
"This ancient parable is about two frogs who fell into a jar of cream. It was a long way from the cream to the top of the jar. The frogs jumped and jumped and jumped trying to leap out but they could not. They struggled, they stewed, they fretted, they tired everything. But they could not get out.
Finally one frog assumed a negative attitude, defeated thoughts, pessimist. I know I can't get out, why try. I have to die anyway, so I just might as well get over it. He resigned, sank to the bottom of the jar and died.
The other frog, from a tougher, long line of dauntless frogs. Positive thinker. Sure I could die but I am going down fighting. He went at it with all vigor, beat the cream into solid butter and jumped out.
Which frog are you?
Further, as a leader, which frog attitude are you projecting to your team today and everyday?
If you are like the first frog and give up, so will your team. If you are like the first frog and give up, so will your team. Think about it.
If you are like the second frog and keep on going, so will your team. Think about it.
