It is a fact that actions speak louder than words. You may think and say that you are this and that, though what truly matters is what you do, what is evident to others, what you show to the world—your true colors, your essence—what you are made of. Your attitude will always speak louder than anything you say about yourself. Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” If your words are not aligned with your actions and vice versa, then you are not only fooling others, you are fooling yourself, too.
“One of the most powerful things that you can do for yourself is to choose a good attitude.”
You are human, that means you are a perfectly imperfect being—not more or less than others, not above or below either. One of the most powerful things that you can do for yourself is to choose a good attitude, one that will work for you—not against you. An attitude that will be you ally, not your enemy. An attitude that will empower you, not destroy you. An attitude that will favorably help you navigate the waves of life and that will also help you relate to others more effectively.
Of course, you will not always have a positive attitude, that is simply not feasible for any human being. What is feasible for you is to choose to work at improving your attitude. Life’s experiences—challenges, successes, failures, triumphs, difficulties, defeats, achievements, and all the ups and downs—are excellent teachers to learn from, improve, and grow in life. This is how you go from good to great to excellent. While perfection is not attainable for any human being, you can make it a goal to be a person of excellence.
“A good attitude can make you strong, courageous, confident, content and a joy to be around.”
Remember, life is about the choices you make every single day. While some choices require minimum thinking and effort, others are more complex in nature. Being diligent, disciplined, and dedicated to making your life a great life is not easy—no one said it would, because it is not. However, as you choose to embark on a journey to improve your attitude, you will start to reap the rewards of all your efforts. A good attitude can make you strong, courageous, confident, content, and a joy to be around. Plus, a good attitude positively impacts your physical health—and makes your brain happy, too.
