These people are not saying the other people are wrong

Walt Disney quote

 

(photo: Christmas card arrived yesterday from a client, friend, and fellow Disney fanatic. Losing our childhood enthusiasm is tragic.)

Do we fill our brains, and thus our attitude, with positive, uplifting, inspirational, good and decent books, film, TV, web, friends, Family, community, work?

Not agreeing with certain behaviors, content, and habits, and steering as clear as possible from these doesn’t mean we think the other person is wrong.

A vegetarian doesn’t have to compromise when steak is served.

Same with attitude.

Happy April Fool’s Day eve as this post goes live. (written just four days before Christmas)

Few questions reveal with such clarity the leading indicators whether someone will thrive or merely survive.

Here’s the question:

Are you willing to be wrong, to fail, to look foolish, to dissent?

Growth implies risks, mistakes, failure.

Run to it or from it.

In a perfect world

In a perfect world, everyone would be happy.

Impossible?

We are in charge of how we view the world.

Many insist you can’t be happy all the time.

Hmmm.

Can we be grateful all the time?

The answer depends on our attitude.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It all comes down to attitude.

And guess what drives our attitude?

Gratitude.

It’s not rocket surgery.

But it does require tremendous focus and discipline.

Which also comes down to attitude.
