Attitude is Everything!

A while back,Sprite run a campaign with the wordings:"Image is nothing. Thirst is everything. Obey your thirst." They wanted us to place premium on what we drink but in today's edition of Monday Morning Dew,I want to stress the importance of attitude to our achieving success.

And that is why I called the title of this post Attitude is everything. Most times,our attitude determines if we succeed in this life or not. And that is why I agree with the saying 'Your attitude determines your altitude'.If your attitude is negative,it will affect everything you are doing. One of my highly regarded mentors,John Maxwell says,'do you feel the world is treating you well? If your attitude toward the world is excellent,you will receive excellent results. If you feel so-so about the world,your response from that world will be average. Feel badly about your world and you will seem to have only negative feedback from life.'

You see,you cannot stop anything from happening to you and in this world,anything can happen at any damn time. But,your attitude to that event is all that matters. Let me just say that you cannot stop bad things from happening to you but you can control how you react to it. Ok,let me just say the formula for success in this life is 90% attitude and 10% ability. I stand to be corrected on that but all I am saying is: your ability in this life matters. Have a positive attitude and you will achieve your goals faster. You will be able to turn your problems into blessings. Let me tell you the story of a friend of mine. He was sacked from a highly lucrative job during the bank consolidation era. Instead of crying and blaming everybody he knew for his misfortune,he started an Engine Oil supply business. He used to carry a tanker and was reselling to Okada drivers. In as little as 9 months,he was making a lot of money and I can tell you he has expanded the business to open other branches. So,whatever you are going through today,know that other people have and are still going through it. But determine not to allow that situation to kill your spirit. Determine to see that situation as a door to your blessings. Have you just been sacked from your workplace? Have you just lost a loved one? Did you wake up without any hope of eating today? Whatever it is you are going through,just know that having a positive attitude will help you pull through fast. So,as you go through this week,remember that Attitude is everything in this life!
