Good Morning!
Why is attitude important?
A story:
Lillian and Jake walked out of the restaurant into an unexpected downpour. Lillian squealed, looked up into the rain toward the sky and started twirling around and said, “Let’s go dance in the puddles!” As she turned to Jake, she saw he was not a happy camper. He was looking down at the ground, pulling his jacket over his head. He grumbled, “This darn rain. I’m cold now and my shoes are going to be ruined. Let’s get out of here.”
What’s the difference here?
The environment is exactly the same for both Lillian and Jake. It is their attitude that is different.

"An individual who has the openness, honesty, and subtlety to perceive the nuances of their attitude in each moment, and the concentration necessary to make corrections as necessary is truly an unlimited person. For it is our attitude which determines the reality we live in and the opportunities and experiences we are available to.” (bewhitespace.com)
What kind of attitude do you want? It’s your choice, you know. Or do you know? Choose to relax and just be with what is, or even enjoy what is. It may not be what you would have preferred, so can you switch gears and choose to prefer it?
Can you dance in the rain?

TIP:
Here’s how to retrain your brain (grow new positive neural pathways. Just google neuroplasticity*):
If you notice your attitude isn’t serving you:
1. STOP (OR PAUSE)
2. Make a new choice to switch gears and attitudes.
It’s that simple. When you do that over and over, you grow new positive neural pathways. When that happens you find that you now automatically see and feel differently than you used to and have a much more joyful, free flowing, VIBRANT life.
Remember what Zig Zigler said: “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”
*Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. These changes range from individual neuron pathways making new connections, to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping.
