it’s ALL About Attitude
Posted by Sean on May 15, 2010
If you’ve been paying attention or are following me around the social media circles- you probably heard. I graduated. I conferred my Bachelors of Science in Nursing last night. It’s my second Baccalaureate degree in my life.
The guess speaker at my ceremony talked about the decisions you make in life. He discussed your essence and he focused on one’s character. He also highlighted one of my most favorite concepts that is near and dear to my heart and my life condition.
Attitude.
Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.
It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.
I never said anything in life was easy. Hell it’s damn hard. We always tend to focus on the bad. Focus on it in the moment it happens, focus on it after the moment and focus on it even as a past event. Heck, we even focus on the bad to spoil a possible good future event.
It doesn’t have to be.
Focus on what’s good in your life. Focus on what you love about you and your world. Focus on your ‘HAVE’s, not your ‘HAVE NOT’s.
I’ve blogged and talked about this awesome individual before. Nick Vujicic, the man with no arms and no legs – no worries. He is a motivational speaker for all walks of life. He shares his travels and challenges he has met with having no arms and no legs. His attitude is what separates him from the rest.
His unconditional, unwavering shining smile and positive presence still moves me every time I see a new video of him.
He makes my worries and my ‘problems’ seem so miniscule and trivial compared to his life. Instead of being a victim of a circumstance be championed a full and profound life.
So. How’s your attitude today?
