I am seldom considered, though I do more to influence everything about you than virtually any one thing in your life. I often control the time you get up in the morning, the time you go to sleep, what you eat and drink and the very thought that runs through your head. I can make you either happy or sad, loving or despicable, cheerful or remorseful, congenial or spiteful. And, in doing so, control the very capacity that you have for success.

No, you don’t often think of me. Instead you blame the problem I create on the shortcoming of others, or the state of the economy, or your family or a million other reasons. Often at times unable to find anyone else to blame you look for shortcomings within yourself.

When my impact on your life is considered in your every thought and action, when you are mindful of my awesome power, when you nurture and groom me for positive use in your life, I can become more contagious than the most prolific disease. My influence will spread to every person you come in contact with.

Groomed and nurtured in a positive manner, there will be no person or obstacle that can stand in the way of my success or fail to be impacted for the better.

What am I? I am your ‘Attitude’.
