A DEFINITION OF ATTITUDE

 

Think of your attitude as the mental filter through Which you experience the world. Some people see the world through the filter of optimism ( the glass being half full while others see life through a filter of pessimism (the glass being half empty]. let me give you some examples to explain the difference between a positive attitude and a negative attitude.

•  The person with the negative attitude thinks " I CAN'T".
•  The person with the positive attitude thinks "I CAN".
• The person with the negative attitude dwells on problems.
• The person with the positive attitude concentrates on solutions.
• The person with the negative attitude finds fault with others
• The person with the positive attitude looks for the good in others.

• The person with the negative attitude focuses on what's missing
• The person with the positive attitude counts his or her blessing.
• The person with the negative attitude sees limitations.
• The person with the positive attitude sees possibilities .

     I could go on and on with examples, but I'm sure you get the idea. When I talk to audiences about attitude, I often like to use word pictures. They help people to understand and remember What I said. let me paint this picture for you: Your attitude is your window to the world.
