Attitudes are contagious. Are you worth catching?


I was surfing around on the internet this morning while I was at work (I know I probably should have been working but being I'm a 911 dispatcher if there isnt any 911 lines ringing and the officers arent talking well I have time to play on the internet) I came across some really quotes that I want to share with everyone.

"Everyday may not be a good, but there is something good in everyday." Unknown Author

"Our attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards us." John N. Mitchell

"You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude towards what happens and in that you will be mastering change rather than allowing change to master you. " Brian Tracy

On a daily basis I deal with people that have good attitudes and bad attitudes, and latley its feels like ive delt more with people with bad attitudes (maybe something to do with my job occupation) I too am guilty of having a bad attitude sometimes towards something...whether it be my job, my outlook on life or just people in general. Today I am going to change that!

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...or home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only things we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our ATTITUDE. I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens and 90% oh how we react to it. We are incharge of our attitudes!
