What’s your Life Training? In life people have conflicting views andpredisposition.  One might be apessimist, a cynic, a realist, an idealist. They can look at the land of milkand honey and see only calories and cholesterol. Gloom and dread with an air ofindifference often wreck havoc to their lives. But what really matters isoptimism. Being an optimist is truly a worthwhile experience when you havepositive outlook in life. You can tackle anything, face hindrances andadversities head on with confidence. It is ultimately the necessity in orderfor you to succeed. Being nice is contagious and as the law of reciprocitystates you will be rewarded by the smiles you give other people. But alas there are people who are just depressingbeyond reproach; they have bumper stickers that go like this ...We are bornnaked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse. Will you allow negative things asyour Life Course? Everyone has a choice. You can either complain thatrose bushes have thorns ... or you can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses.You can either be a person who views a glass a half full or half empty.Everyone has Personal Mission. If you wake up in the morning and listen to songs like“ I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” What will that do for your attitude? You’ll really get no satisfaction. Or here’s another inspirational ditty “Raindrops Keep Falling on myHead!”  That’s having greatexpectation for the day!  Or here’s apersonal favorite ... “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places!”  Well … that ought to affect your life in afactual positive manner!  What is my worth?  Do PersonalGood or the other way round? It’s been proven that the first 30minutes of your day and the last 30 minutes are the most important concerningyour attitude.  Much like in advertising they call every time you see a sign, readan ad, or hear a radio spot, etc., an impression.  The goal is to bombard you with multiple“impressions” to persuade you to buy their products” Each sensory reception..Creates an impression ... which creates a perception!  Your attitude will be affected by what youare “impressed” by!  That in turn willaffect your performance. Don’t allow yourself to be filled with negative impressionsor your integrity will suffer. Don’t let Madison Ave. determine yourattitude. Your morning coffee should not determine your attitude! What if thecity dump called and offered to come by your house and deliver 2500 lbs. ofgarbage on your lawn for free.  Would youaccept it? NOT!  You would think theywere crazy! And yet, we let the media and people around us dump garbage into uson a daily basis.  We need to be logicaland act like civilized people should upholding norms and conducts that areexpected of us! You don’t have to be pessimistic.  It is a choice. Did you know that the 1828Noah Webster Dictionary did not have the word pessimist  ... or pessimistic in it? There was no suchword!  The great Helen Keller once said “No pessimist ever discovered thesecret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorwayfor the human spirit.” Your attitude is achoice. You get to choose how you let others perceive you!  Think about this  ... haveyou ever heard anybody say, “He’s really got a great attitude. Let’s fire him!”Ha! Never in a million years. Positive impression on people is the seed thatyou should cultivate in order to succeed. In San Francisco, at the zoo, they had an elephant who I believewas named Callie. Callie had an eating disorder. She had a chronic illness.They couldn’t get her to eat ... no matter what; they couldn’t get her to eat.When she did eat, it didn’t digest correctly. They tried to give her themedication, but, there was no way in the world that Callie would take hermedication. So, eventually they had to use five men, as part of their job, togive Callie her medication. She refused to take it orally, so they decided they were going tohave to give her the medication in another way. Yes.. I know what you’re thinking! And, you’re right!   They had touse a ten inch long, 41 pound, coco butter suppository. So, everyday one of them would tenderly lift her tail ... one ofthem would take a rubber glove that covered the entire arm, and three of theother men soothed and positioned Callie. And they administered her medication... much to her dismay! What a job!  How would thatlook on your resume?  “What was your last job?”   “Oh, I inserted a ten inch long, 41 pound, coco butter suppositoryinto a grumpy 6000 pound female pachyderm!” So, the bottom line is this. There are at least five people in America that have a job worse thanyours! Complaining is a sign of weakness, why not find ways to overcomeadversities be proactive. Stop complaining folks. This too will pass! Change your attitudeand you’ll change your life! It’simportant to keep an “Attitude of Gratitude.” Instead of a complaints list. I have personally found that the longeryour gratitude list ... the shorter your gripe list! So,I gathered my family together one night and got out a note pad.  I told them that we were going to make a listof everything we could remember that had happened that past year we werethankful for.  It began slowly.  But when we got into it ... my pen could notkeep up.  We consolidatedeverything!  Physical things. Spiritualthings. Financial things!  We laughed..We cried ... we got out the projector and showed slides and watched recentvideos.  Then we added more to the list.  We decided to read the list aloud for 30days.  Something miraculous happened whenwe developed an attitude of gratitude. Wehave broken through adversities! Thankful people become blessed people, blessedby the optimism they share with others! I suggest that if you are having anattitude problem.  If you ... like thegreat Zig Zigler says, have “stinkin thinkin” ... then make out a gratitudelist. An attitude change is necessary don’t exacerbate it instead revitalizeyour life with a positive attitude.  Getit from the experts and make this your LifeCourse.
