Your greatest asset is your attitude and it is the base 
ingredient to your Secret Success Sauce.
Attitude is not a set strength or gift; it is a choice. Attitude is the only thing you have complete control over on a second by second basis. When I was downsized in 2011, my first reaction was not anger. It was, “What do I have in place to keep moving forward?”
The first step to creating success through your attitude is to take responsibility for it. Attitude does not come from our circumstances, history, or others. Attitude comes from within; you are made of the sum from the inside out. Reflecting within is key to identifying and relating to any of your relationships. Where are they blaming others for circumstances; where in reality the outcome came from choice.
The second area to evaluate is where you are now in your relationships and perhaps barriers to your goals. Personal evaluation is not to condemn where you are today, but to become aware and make different choices. How we feel and view ourselves often relates to how we relate and think of others. Attitude truly is the solid foundation to your Secret Success Sauce.
When evaluation occurs in an honest and nurturing way, your growth to change becomes easy. Perseverance does not seem as hard, and the tenacious nature it takes to stand your ground will give confident freedom in becoming who you were meant to be and who you are meant to serve.
The biggest question is: Are you going to keep working and trying to get better, or is this as good as it gets?
You are not what you think you are, but what you think…you are.
The last step toward an AWESOME attitude is discipline in your agenda. Yes, the things that make up your daily calendar are the choices you are willing to make. Again, reflection is part of gaining back your day and doing what you need to do in planned action vs. others unplanned reaction.
Attitude is the difference maker to opening doors you did not see before, and it helps overcome obstacles and reality shifts you did not ask for. In 2011 I had a choice to be angry, bitter, frozen, and paralyzed from losing my job, but my choice was to thrive despite someone else’s decision for my reality and future.
Choose to thrive!
Look UP & OUT!
