Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude- Abandon Your Victim Mentality

“It is your attitude, more than your aptitude, that will determine your altitude.” Zig Ziglar, the famous salesman said this years ago, and it bears true today, and throughout the ages. As a human on planet Earth, you will be under attack from the world daily as soon as you leave your front door. The only contant thing you can control is your attitude towards each situation. With so many slights, slings and arrows against us, we can easily take on a victim mentality. This stifles us, and gives us an excuse to fail. Failure becomes a foregone conclusion. Instead, we must reframe each situation and mindfully focus our thoughts to our essential goodness. We must solve problems objectively, and not take them personally. My advice for you is to take the followihg steps when you feel like a victim: Assess the situation objectively. What are the facts in the case? Identify a root cause for the issue. Ask why 5-times. Seek guidance from a mentor or outside party on the issue. Remove negative and self-defeating thoughts from the equation. Present solutions to the issue. In summary, never take negative situations tonheart if you can, and keep moving towards solutions. Be mindful of your passive negative thoughts and keep moving forward.
