Michael Josephson's Attitude Inventory story from Bob Proctor's Insight of the day is so in line with my life now that is must be shared to give you some food for thought. Character really does count people. So who will you be remembered as in your interaction with others today, and how does that make you feel? Think about it.

It's all about having an attitude of gratitude for what's in your life right now. It's about being positively present in your life and living it to the fullest.

Be positively critical (not abusive) of yourself, change what you don't like but always appreciate who you are at any given moment in time.  Believe me when I say that if I, a renowned control freak, can give it all up, do the Work on myself and come out smiling at the other end and wake each day smiling, you can too.

All it takes is letting go and it's the easiest thing in the world. You are not alone and you do not have to carry any burden by yourself. Let go and let god. Try the Sedona method. It's just one of the many non-judgemental, non-invasive method that just may work for you.

Attitude Inventory

It’s a wise custom to end an old year and begin a new one with serious self-reflection. What did you learn last year that could improve your life and make you a wiser and better person?

If you want to have a successful and fulfilling New year, start by examining the way you think and feel about your job, your relationships, and yourself. After all, the single most important factor in personal happiness and your impact on others is your attitude.

In the geometry of life, the axiom is “positive attitudes produce positive results.” They make success more likely, failures less harmful, pleasures more frequent, and pain more bearable. Some people tend to bring warm sunshine wherever they go; others bring cold chills. What do you bring?

To find out where you can improve, take an inventory of your predispositions, the attitude you’re most likely to start with:

▪ Are you generally optimistic or pessimistic?

▪ Do you tend to assume the best or expect the worst of people?

▪ Is your first instinct to be empathetic or judgmental?

▪ Is your first instinct to be supportive or critical?

▪ Do you send the message that you enjoy life or that you’re barely enduring it?

▪ Do you come across as the captain of your own ship or simply a passenger?

Wherever you are on the positive-attitude spectrum, think how much better things could be if you were more consistently and self-consciously optimistic, empathetic, supportive, grateful, enthusiastic, hopeful, and cheerful.

So why not resolve to think, act, and speak more positively about yourself, your family, your coworkers, and everyone else in your life?

 

Remember, character counts.
