Every goal achieved starts with the tiniest seed of an idea. You have a vision for your life. An idea about a job, house, spouse, kids, vacation, skill, health, wealth.
This quote sums it all up. You can change a problem, roadblock or your environment into a positive by repositioning the way the think about it. In short, you change your attitude about it. Through attitude shifting, your challenges become a platform from which to grow, get stronger and launch into better things.
I saw the book, How to Completely Change your Life in 30 Seconds, written by Robert C. Worstell and Earl Nightingale. I picked it up amusingly with my scam radar detector going off (before seeing authors). A quick examination showed that it was a book-book, a couple hundred pages long. So, the promise on the cover obviously wasn’t fulfilled if you needed more than one page and an investment of more than 30 seconds to read it, right?
But, the promise is correct. Attitude is everything. Attitude is one of the most powerful weapons we wield for good or bad outcomes. It’s upon us to apply this quote to everything. We can rethink the most mundane of first world problems (traffic) to the most tragic of human circumstances (Viktor Frankl’s time in the Nazi concentration camps).
We’ve heard it so many times, it becomes white noise. Remember your attitude. Tie a string around your finger, write it on your mirror, download an app, whatever works best for you.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
Viktor E. Frankl
Seattle traffic is the worst. Talk about challenging your attitude…
