Zig Ziglar – Attitude Makes All The Difference
Change Your Attitude and You Change Your Life
To change your circumstances, first start thinking differently.
-Norman Vincent Peale
It’s the rare individual who consistently maintains a positive attitude, knowing that his thoughts will become his reality.
It’s the rare individual who watches the words he uses, knowing that he’s programming his mind for success, mediocrity or failure.
It’s the rare individual who has the guts to confront her fears, because that’s where her potential will be developed – by doing things she’s afraid to do.
It’s the rare individual who looks for the silver lining in every dark cloud.
And it’s the rare individual who makes a commitment, follows through with a positive attitude… and has the persistence to get the job done.
You have the potential to become more than you ever dreamed. You have greatness within you… and your attitude is the key to unlocking that potential. Changing my attitude changed my life. And if a better attitude can work miracles in my life, it can work miracles in yours!
I’d like to share with you these words from Dr. Charles Swindoll, who captured the essence of attitude – and how it dominates the direction of our lives:
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. “The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change 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 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
Pretty powerful words, aren’t they? Do what Charles Swindoll suggests and “play on the one string you have” – your ATTITUDE.
Now is the time to take control of your attitude. Now is the time to start creating miracles in your own life.
Go ahead – believe in yourself. Have the courage and persistence to follow your dreams. And above all, never, never forget that… Attitude is all!
May God bless you on your journey.
