Never, never doubt
what no one is sure about.
-Willie Wonka
Attitude is self-actualizing. Once we choose an attitude (consciously or unconsciously) we will focus on parts of our environment that validate that attitude. This is the key to the law of attraction. It isn’t that we “draw in” that stuff that we focus on. It means that we take notice to the stuff that validates our attitude and we dismiss what doesn’t.
We have all been in situations where people just want to be angry. No matter what the situation or what the outcome is, they find a reason to be angry. We all also know those people that always seem to be happy. Every situation in their life seems to bring them some sort of joy. These are also the people that we want to be around….it becomes infectious.
Your brain is constantly trying to figure out what is important information and what isn’t. Your attitude tells your unconscious what is important to you. So if you have a bad attitude, that is what your brain focuses on, things that give you a bad attitude. To change your reality, you must first change your attitude or you will never be able to acknowledge the change in your life.
Your attitude dictates what we will experience throughout the day. This means that when you spend time insuring that your attitude is focused correctly, the energy spent is paid back ten fold.
Today, I will insure that my attitude is focused on where I want it to be.

Let’s try an experiment today. Think about someone who is always grumpy around you. Place your focus on someone who always seems to be in a bad mood and wants to let everyone know about it. Let yourself really sink into situations which you find yourself around them. Once you have immersed yourself in that energy, scan your body. What emotion do you find? Where do you feel it in your body?
Here is the interesting thing. How many times do you find yourself in this energy? How do you normally interact with your surroundings when you are in this energy? Maybe you find that you are in this energy a lot. Is there a specific part of your life that you find that you dump this energy?
The truth is that when we focus on people, places and things that give us a negative charge; we tend to spread that same energy into our world. We are much like a battery. We capture a charge or emotion as it is referred to, then we release it. Our charge comes in what we choose to focus on. If we focus on negative situations, we must by default release that negative energy.
If I choose to focus on positive situations, I will be forced by nature to release positive energy. In other words, people around me will receive positive feelings, vibes, energy, whatever you want to call it.
Use today as an experiment. Think of a time, person or situation that makes you happy. Then watch how you interact with your surroundings.

Book on Mindset
The obstacles to success don’t exist outside of our selves. They are the limits and boundries we place on what we can attain, what is expected and what is considered proper behavior. The road to excellence requires us to step just beyond that which is expected. Only by continually stepping outside of the normal realm can we be expected to reach that which is normally out of reach.
Most people will settle into a pattern of mediocrity in their lives. The reasons vary but the outcome is the same. Accomplishments are given up on, dreams vanish and people hand both their power and their energy to others. At the end of the day, what will they be left with?
When you strive for just a bit more, give just a bit more than you are able; you train yourself to grow past your limitations. This is the secret that builds excellence. This is the path least travelled.
Today, I will be a little bit more.
What did it feel like to be one of the Wright brothers? How many dangerous situations did they face to accomplish their goal? It must have appeared to everyone around them that they were crazy. They were attempting something that no one had ever accomplished. They were committed to an impossible looking goal.
The Wright brothers must have learned a lot through all of their failures. Imagine what their drawing boards looked like. Imagine the number of epiphanies it took for them to get from crash to flight. How many times did they almost give up? How many times did they get called crazy? Yet they came back and learned from their experiences. They stayed teachable, always keeping their eye on the prize.
What do we have to show for this resiliency? How amazed are we by the goal that they attained? To us, flight is a given. To us, it is as if it were always possible, a right of the human species if you will. It has become commonplace. The moral of the story? Those of us who attempt the extraordinary today, build the ordinary of tomorrow.
Today, I will be teachable. I will remember that each failure gets me closer to my next success.
