Adopt a GOOD Attitude

Attitude is one of my favorite topics for this blog, and I have to be careful not to over do my "obsession" with the subject. I have written about it many times, its importance to individuals, to companies, to teams and to family.

Everyone wants to be around the positive, outgoing characters ... they just make you feel better. Yet we ALL have the ability to develop and display the kind of attitude that we want!

As a regular reader of Seth Godin's blog I was struck (once again) by a recent blog entry suggesting that in previous times Your Smile Didn't Matter. Its a thought provoking piece, because he suggests that today its ALL about attitude!

Its funny that he talks about smiling, when he talks about attitude ... and as usual, he is right on the money!

Take a few minutes and re-visit a couple of my older blog entries. Back in 2006, not long after starting this blog I wrote an entry called Attitude - The Answer!

It must have been on my mind because that year I also posted a blog entry called Smile ... its contagious.

In August 2007 I referenced a study that suggested you should Be Positive and Live Longer!

And of course ... one of my first blog entries is also one of my favourite sayings ... Walk Fast and Smile!

Some clarification:

Everyone can adopt a positive attitude ... it is all in your own hands.
It has NOTHING to do with personality types, Zodiac signs, how you are raised, wealth or any external thing ... it is all in your head!
It costs you nothing.
You WILL feel better.
You WILL make others feel better.
Like Nike says ... Just Do It!

Seth Godin suggests that the new world (and I'm always talking about how everything is changing) requires you to have a great attitude ... he's right! I just think that the "old world" wanted it too ... its just more important now!
