Just Attitude Your Way Past Impossible.

What you see is what you get.

What you think is happening will happen.

It’s your attitude that drives outcomes.

Quite literally, how you allow yourself to interpret what happens to you, drives what you do.

A young girl was walking around the shore in the late afternoon where along the beach dozens of starfish were trapped in the sand, having been thrown onto the beach by an unsuspecting current.

A man stood watching as the the young girl began to pick up starfish and place them delicately back into the water. Step after step. Starfish after starfish. She worked with purpose .

Finally the man spoke,”You are most kind, but with hundreds of starfish lost on the beach, does it really matter?”

After finished placing another starfish in the water, the young girl replied, “It will for that one.”

Nothing matters more than attitude.

If you think that failure is permanent, then you’ll never allow yourself to learn from loss.
If you think that validation means you are doing something worthwhile, then you’ll never create anything world-changing.
If you think that “getting it right the first time” is the key to success, you won’t keep trying when it matters.
If you think that people are out to take advantage of you, you’ll never see the potential in those around you.

Your attitude doesn’t change anything that is.

It changes who you are…

It allows you to see that impossible really isn’t.

And that means that anything you want for yourself is as real as the attitude you have powering you.

Powering you past the impossible.

Hi Dan,
Your article reminds me of people saying that in order to be a great salesperson, you have to be born as one… Nurturing such a belief, those people probably will never become good at selling. So, working on attitude is crucial.

Again, great post Dan… and if you want to read a little bit about “natural born salespeople” take a look at my blog: http://salesguru.pl/en/index.php/2010/12/natural-born-salespeople/ :)

  You wrote a great post, Artur.
  
  We would never make the claim that someone was a born-fireman or born-cowboy. It’s downright silly.
  
  The same thing is true for sales people.

Attitude is everything!Our Attitude is our habit of thought and our thoughts define our action. If we habitually think positive our life will become more positive, too. Furthermore, if we change the way we think about someone that person will change accordingly, too.
You speak my language, Dan!
Happy New Year!

You are so right. People tend to react by other peoples measuring sticks. That way it is very easy to put the blame somewhere else. Correcting our attitudes means stop blaming. We have to accept cause and effect, then base our attitude on what real effect we are looking for…then strive for it. In the end, we will have taken responsibility for what happens in our lives because we focused on the results we want.

  Sue,
  
  You are right about the trap of using static measurement to justify activity. Usually what you see is a trailing indicator of the success that made the evidence possible.

I was just looking for this info you’ve written about for some time now, After about 3 hours of online searching, gladly I found that here on your site. I don’t understand why Google do not display this kind of great reviews in the first few lines. Generally the first few web sites are full of rubbish (unlike yours). Perhaps it is time to change to another search engine.thanks again for a very well written review and ill soon return to see how the updates are going
Laurinda Littleton

I found this on page 14 in the search engines and this is considered to be a pity. I’m not any specialist however what you are writing in this blogpost makes sense. More people really should be aware of it.
