Attitude Changes Everything

SETTING GOALS FOR A HEALTHY LIFE

Attitude Changes Everything  

“Change your attitude and you change your life. You cannot control what happens to you in your life, but you can always control how you respond to it. The way you choose to respond is a reflection of your attitude. By changing your attitude, you also change your perspective and change your life.”


Our attitude affects our relationships, happiness, lifestyle, and success. Developing a positive attitude changes everything despite our circumstances. Statistically half the people born are optimistic by nature, and the other half are pessimistic. ... Forget everything your attitude has made of your life, and start over.

Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." 

"Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything."

"There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. 



Earl Nightingale who said that "our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us."

"Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude."
William James
 

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."
Winston Churchill

"People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude."
John C. Maxwell

"If you can't change your fate, change your attitude"
Dr. Reda Bedeir

"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."
Albert Einstein

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
Lou Holtz

"Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything."
Unknown 

"There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative."
W. Clement Stone

"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."
Khalil Gibran

"Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done."
Bo Bennett

SERENITY PRAYER ADAPTED FOR ADD by Dr. Edward Hallowell

SERENITY PRAYER ADAPTED FOR ADD

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

The insight to prioritize wisely what I want to change;

The patience to resist trying to control everything I could, had I the energy and time;

The courage and skill to change the things I have chosen to change;

And the wisdom to know the differences among all these.

  
- Dr. Edward Hallowell
