Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 91
Title: Your
Attitude Determines Your Altitude!!
Attitude is the
EYE of your soul! Your attitude determines how you view life. If your attitude
is negative, you will see life negatively. If your attitude is positive, you
will see life positively. If you have a thankful attitude, you will see things
you encounter as gifts to be thankful for. “I may not be able to change the
world I see around me but I can change the way I see the world within me!” So
attitude is another key to
lifelong success. Your attitude affects everything in your life. How is your
attitude? Are you one of those people who are always blaming outside forces for
their problems? Who see witches and wizards in their families? Do you
walk around in a negative state of mind most of the time? However positive
you may be most of the time, there will be days when you just feel negative.
While this may be fine for a brief period, prolonging a negative attitude has disastrous consequences. A negative attitude robs your initiative and destroys
your discipline. Your attitude will determine your altitude and a man who
struggles with his attitude will struggle with many other essential and
important factors and elements that will lead him to his altitude in life. The
'so what´ or 'who cares´ attitude stops you from taking the actions that will
help you build the kind of life you want to have for yourself and your family. Here
is how a negative attitude robs us of our potential for good. At one
of the low points in my own life, I had developed a 'who cares, what is
the use´ attitude. I felt that I was stuck where I was because of circumstances
outside my control and blamed the world for my conditions. I figured I was at
the bottom, so why even care? The problem is, as I learned through a lot of
emotional pain, that there are always lower bottoms to which we can sink. As my
attitude continued to be negative and blaming, my situation worsened. Only when
I was willing to take responsibility for my life, stop blaming and look for
what little good remained, was I able to begin to turn this situation around. A
negative attitude keeps us stuck by robbing us of the self-discipline we need
to improve our conditions. If you take a 'what is the use´ approach to your
circumstances, they will only get worse. It is imperative that
you turn a negative attitude around and learn to become a positive person.
The fastest and easiest way I know to change from a negative to a positive attitude
is to develop an attitude of gratitude. You may even want to keep a gratitude
journal, a place where you can build a list of the things you are grateful for
in your life. It is impossible to have gratitude and be in self- pity at
the same time, and most negative attitudes are rooted in self-pitying,³poor me´
self-talk. You can quickly change a negative attitude to a positive one by
becoming grateful. The simplest way I know to do this is to ask a question
like, 'What am I grateful for today?´ Then, write down whatever comes to mind.
It may be all of the blessings you have like good health, a clear mind, a
loving family, satisfying work, a comfortable home, friends, and pets and so on. Make a
daily habit of counting your blessings and list what you are grateful for in
your life. Doing this first thing in the morning will help you feel better
immediately and begin your day on a positive note. On days when you are feeling
down, take out your'³gratitude journal´ and reread it. Doing this simple
exercise will make you feel better almost immediately. The
world will seem brighter to you if you will face it with a whistle rather than
a whine. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared
to what lies within us. God chooses what we go through. We choose how we go
through it! Attitude is the EYE of your soul! Your attitude determines how you
view life. Attitude is the FACE of your life! Your attitude determines how you
appear to others. Other people mirror the attitude they sense we have. That's
what the Golden Rule says “The way you treat others is the way you will be
treated.” When the attitude we possess places others FIRST and we see people as
important, then your perspective will reflect their viewpoint, not yours. Until
we walk in the other person’s shoes and see life through another’s eyes, we will be like the man who
angrily jumped out of his car after a collision with another car. “Why don’t
you people watch where you’re driving?” You’re the fourth car I’ve hit today!”
Do you have an attitude issue? Today beckons on you to make a change. You can
do far better than you are doing at the present.
