Attitude Is Everything Rev Ed 10 Life-Changing Steps to Turning Attitude Into Action By Harrell, Keith HarperBusiness ISBN: 0060779721 Chapter One Attitude Is Everything Step 1 Understand the power of "attitude." The first thing you need to do to turn your attitude into action is to tap into the power of your attitude. This key step is the foundation on which theother nine steps in this book are built. Attitude is everything. As far back as I can remember, I've heard about the importance of a positive attitude. I heard it from my parents, teachers, coaches, and supervisors over the years. Not only did I hear it, I saw the powerful impact a positive attitude could have. I've seen it countless times in the lives ofhighly successful people. Some of these success stories make front-page headlines. Those that aren't making the news are certainly making headlines in the lives of those around them. A positive attitude is the foundation of a successful life. With such compelling evidence to support the theory that a positive attitude pays off, I have made it my lifework to personally embrace a super-fantastic attitude and help others understand that attitude is everything. Some have questioned my assertion, telling me that attitude isn't everything. That much more is involved in achieving success. Of course, it takes planning and hard work to reach your goals. I believe it is absolutely critical that whatever you do, you should do with all your might. Go for it!Work to the best of your ability. But your ability may be much higher than you realize. It all comes back to attitude. Attitude is everything because it is involved in everything. It impacts our performance at work and our relationships. Attitude is the cornerstone upon which we build our lives. If attitude is so important, we'd best understand its meaning. The American Heritage Dictionary defines attitude as a state of mind or feeling with regard to some matter. For me, attitude can be defined in one word: life. The attitude that you carry around makes an incredible difference in your life. It can be a powerful tool for positive action. Or it can be a poisonthat cripples your ability to fulfill your potential. Yourattitude dictates whether you are living life or life is livingyou. Attitude determines whether you are on the way or inthe way. To develop an attitude that helps you live life to itsfullest, as you were designed to do, you must first understandthat the heart is the control center for your attitude.Your attitude is nothing but an outward reflection of whatresides on the inside. To change your attitude, you mustchange your heart. Ear-Gate, Eye-Gate, and Mouth-Gate The most powerful computer in the world is the humancomputer
