Don’t worry too much about what other people think of you. They think about you a lot less than you imagine.

Your Attitude Under Control

The process of human change begins within us.?

We all have tremendous potential.?

We all desire good results from our efforts.

Most of us are willing to work hard and to pay the price that success and happiness demand.

Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result.

But the one thing that determines the level of our potential, produces the intensity of our activity,

and predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.

No other person on Earth has dominion over our attitude.

?

People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or

unintentionally misinforming us or providing us negative influences,

but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender that control.

No one else “makes us angry.”

We make ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude.

What someone else may have done is irrelevant.

We choose, not they.

They merely put our attitude to a test.

?

If we select a volatile attitude by becoming hostile, angry, jealous, or suspicious, then we have failed the test.

If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy, then again, we have failed the?test.

If we care at all about ourselves and our future, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings.

We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the capacity to lead our attitude down the wrong path and

to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.

?

If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us,

then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining total dominion over our attitude.

Your attitude is an asset, a treasure of great value.

Protect it.

Nurture it.

And you will reap the future reward.
