Attitude is Everything

My weeks have been quite busy lately with a growing number of clients.  This is exciting for me as serving others to achieve a breakthrough from their obstacles, assisting them to achieve ambitious results, and elevating their emotional states is a source of intense joy and satisfaction for me.

A lot of clients commence their sessions with a lack of clarity about their future, and this is often attributed to perceived obstacles in their life (career, family, relationships, finances or health).  A key element of achieving a breakthrough with these clients is attaining the shift from seeing the obstacles as being external to them, and recognising that the obstacles are almost always grounded in their own thoughts, beliefs, values and identity.

I found this quote a few weeks ago, and it is a concise and powerful reminder that the obstacles we see in our lives are 10% reality, and 90% attitude.  Enjoy!

And until next time, focus on the results you want to achieve.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.

It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
