Attitude is powerful. It’s the energy you emulate. It reflects how you feel about life. Each one of the observations in the passage above reflects a different attitude or mood with which these individuals were living at a particular moment. These brief encounters may or may not represent who each of these individuals are on a larger scale, but it was certainly who they were for a brief moment in the airport that morning. Have you ever heard the phrase “a good attitude is catchy, but a great attitude is contagious?” Whether you are aware of it or not, for every new scenario you encounter, you take inventory and make assessments about the people you meet. Whether it is walking into a classroom for the first time, moving into a new residence hall, starting a new job, or going to a party, you judge others by their attitude. Conversely, others form opinions of and remember you by your attitude.
You’ve also probably noticed that it’s easy to identify individuals that others gravitate to. People want to spend time with people that they feel good around. Such individuals possess a variety of characteristics; however there is most likely a common factor with each of these charismatic folks: a positive attitude.
So what is the definition of attitude? Is attitude how Webster’s Dictionary defines it? Perhaps, but it’s also much more than that. You see attitude in people. You feel attitude in people. You live your attitude. You see attitudes you don’t want anything to do with. You see attitudes that leave you wanting to get to know a person better. Our attitudes define us.
So you may be thinking, that’s all fine and good but what can I really do to change my attitude? Read these simple suggestions below and you’ll be amazed at what an immediate difference you can make in your life.Learn more about...
