Choosing My Attitude

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”~Viktor E. Frankl

The last of the human freedoms..."to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." That means a new economy, a lousy boss, a bad relationship, any set of circumstances! It is your CHOICE!!! And only yours!

You get to choose your own way. It's not dictated by anyone other than you...unless you give someone else that power. A lot of people have given their power away to someone else. Don't let that be you!

Shakespeare said “Make not your thoughts your prisons.” Are you a prisoner of your thoughts? Think about that. What thoughts are hold you back, holding you prisoner? When you examine those thoughts, you will find that there is no truth to the thoughts that are holding you prisoner. It's just a story that you are telling yourself so it becomes a story that you live.

Action:
Know and realize that no circumstance can dictate your attitude to you. You are the only one who can choose your attitudes. Take today to examine the thoughts that are holding you prisoner. After analyzing them realize that you don't need them anymore. Make a prison-break in your mind!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Are You A Prisoner?

"Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own mind."~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Are you a prisoner of your own mind? Do you believe the stories that you mind is telling you? Why? Do you believe that those stories are 'truth.?' How come? Because you been told so?

Your mind is while the greatest computer you will ever use but is limited because you limit it! Do you realize that you are the only one holding you back? No one else is. Not your boss, your family, your friends. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE HOLDING YOU BACK!

Break out of you own mind. Start asking yourself questions about everything that you think. Challenge yourself on what you are thinking, why you do the things you do and why you think the things that you think.

Allow the questioning to let you see with new eyes.
