A lot goes into an Attitude...

But a lot more comes out of it.

And it really makes no difference what kind of attitude we have, what
comes out of it is a lot more of the same.

Having a bad attitude ourselves, compounds the effects from all around.

And having a great attitude, is a multiplier which gives us more of
what we have.

So always remember, the attitude we have, good or bad, gives us more of
it.

IQ doesn't Matter...

But the "I Can" does.

No matter how smart we are, it doesn't replace or substitute for the "I
Can" attitude.

With "I can", we can be lacking in the "smarts" department, and achieve
what we set out to achieve, as we may not know better, and can't see the
obstacles.

As a matter of fact, I have spoken to many that have said that if they
knew all the obstacles before they made great achievements - they
wouldn't of even started.

Many times - with a lot of smarts we can "talk" ourselves out of
achievement, by being able to process too much information and "seeing"
too many roadblocks, that stops the journey dead in it's tracks.

So, it's not how much "smart" we have,

It's how much "heart" we have.

A fly in the ointment...

Is never a good thing.

Either is anything that can spoil our attitude by being a nuisance.

But many times, we go through life with that fly in the ointment, or
that pebble in our shoe...souring our every move.

What we need to do is take the time to remove the fly or the pebble
that has been so bothersome, and get back to moving forward and taking
our life to the "Next Level".

If we don't take the time, we have that nagging problem which tethers
us down, not allowing us to reach our potential.

Fear or Faith?

When we have Fear as a driving force, we are in a negative mode,
reacting to what is around us, whereas when we have faith as a driving
force, we are in a positive mindset, and respond to the things around
us...and we can play our own game.

So if we want to get ahead and be in control of our lives, we must be
mindful to have faith as our motivator...it will give us the "can do"
attitude, which allows us to better achieve things we "set" our minds to.

Also, when we are not afraid...we start to live.

BTW - Faith also helps out a bit, in golf.

Spin it and Win it...In the Future?

Yes, you can go into a future situation with different attitudes and perceptions.

You can go to a dental appointment with the view that "It will very
uncomfortable and that you will dread the shot and the drilling while
imagining the smoke billowing from your mouth as the Doctor hits a
nerve."

OR you can imagine that " I can't wait to see my dentist again because
I always get a new toothbrush and some floss and that you haven't had
your teeth drilled in a long time and that you are really excited to
get the work done to keep your oral hygiene the best it can be...and
the smoke from the drilling has a unique smell that you can't get
anywhere else."

Just - Spin it and Win it - Before it happens.

All or Nothing?

That attitude in goal setting, many times, can disrupt our attempt of
creating our desired results.

The truth is, life sometimes gets in the way and it must not derail our
Freight Train to Success City.

So in goal setting, don't be too attached to "All or Nothing" and maybe
think of it as "Just Better than Before".

Yours in Success - Coach
