Negative Attitudes!

That's a good read, autowranglers.

Attitude, be it positive or negative, is a decision of the mind that is created twice. It's first creation is when we think of it, when we plan, when when we start to want/need it. The second creation is when we execute/implement/put into action the first creation of our mind. Meaning to say, we have a full control of our attitude. It's never based from any external resources. Our attitude is never based on who surrounds us. It's never based on how people treat us. Attitude is an internal disposition. I can choose to be happy no matter what the circumstance is.

On Stephen Covey's 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,' he said that we have the power to control our attitude when we carry our own weather within us. We feel a little melancholy, or perhaps moody, when it's raining cats and dogs outside. We feel like we want to jump upside down when the weather outside is great. Now, take that weather within us.

So make sure your attitude is positive.

"If you think you can then you are right" or "If you think you can't then you are right". Attitude does matter for success.

Like attracts like, there is no question about that. And that is so evident in forums and other social sites. Positive, uplifting members attract other positive members. Negative members and negative discussion threads seem to attract more negativism like flies to ... well, you know.

It is so much more fulfilling and uplifting to look at the positive side of things. I'm not saying the negative doesn't exist in the world, but why dwell on it? Let those who like to wallow in it, have it. I know it sometimes takes effort to subdue the negative and be positive instead, but it is worth the effort in the long run.
