Attitude

ATTITUDE AND EFFORT

The only limitation placed on our abilities is our inability to easily recognize our unlimited nature. It takes EFFORT to become aware of our staggering and limitless abilities. It takes EFFORT to become enthusiastic over a cause, or an occupation. It takes EFFORT to continue when our results-as well as our friends-tell us to give up trying. It takes EFFORT to feel right about everything that happens-the joy as well as the sorrows of life. And it also takes EFFORT to learn to love ourselves above all others, especially when we are so consciously aware of our failures, doubts and tragedies. It does not, however, take EFFORT to fail. It requires little else than a slowly deteriorating ATTITUDE about our present, our future, and about ourselves. It is ironic that one of the few things in this life over which we have total control is our own ATTITUDES, and yet most of us live our entire life behaving as though we had no control whatsoever. By our ATTITUDE, we decide to read, or not to read. By our ATTITUDE, we decide to try or give up. By our ATTITUDE, we blame ourselves for our failure, or we foolishly blame others. Our ATTITUDE determines whether we love or hate, tell the truth or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own ATTITUDE we and we alone actually decide whether to succeed or fail.

At this very moment in time, as you read these words, your ATTITUDE has determined what you are. Your enthusiasms, intensity, faith in yourself, patience with yourself and others, and childish excitement about your boundless future is a result of that single word-ATTITUDE. In the seasons of life, ATTITUDE is everything! Jim Rohn
