"Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force." ~ Tom Blandi
How is your attitude? I know, I know, I can hear you now..."My attitude is great," right? Really?? Most people don't think about their attitude and think that it is always great. But it's NOT! This is one area of your life that you can change and control and it will only cost you a little discipline.
Anthony de Mello said "What you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of is in control of you." Start being aware of your attitude, towards your work, your play, all the time. When you are aware, you are in control. Attitude...the only thing that we can truly control!
Action:
Be more aware of your attitude and how you project it to the world. Take time to think about it to make sure that it is the way that you want it to be. Don't let others choose your attitude for you!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

How to Win
"Gentleness and kind persuasion win where force and bluster fail."~Aesop
Force and bluster are the hallmarks of the 90's, but they no longer work. Have you found this to be true? They worked as little as 9 months ago, but no longer. People are re-awakening to their real selves and are finding that they don't like force and bluster...for the most part.
How are you treating your customers, potential clients and others. (See previous post) Are you finding that bluster doesn't work anymore? How have you adapted to this? What have you done differently? What have you learned through this?
Challenge yourself to think this through. Even if you think that you weren't forceful or blustery, see how you may have been, even without your conscious knowledge.
Gentleness and kind persuasion win. How have you been gentle with your clients? Have you used kind persuasion or hard persuasion. I irritate some people but it is with kindness that I do it. If they take it wrong, who's challenge is that? Most people will not change unless they are irritated, at least a little. Experience the irritation. Expand your thinking. Grow!
