Attitude

The seven keys to success: The first one, attitude is what I will be thinking about today. And I have a great video for you to watch along with the concept of attitude as a key to success, not just with horses but with everything in your life.

What do you think of when you think of attitude through the filter of a key to success? I think about first, positive, progressive and natural. Positive to me, means exactly what that video above was about. Looking at the positive things in life, changing our filter through which we see the world, which will change our reality. Cause your reality to be positive by the way you look at your environment. Progressive: I think about progressive in all areas of my life as well...can I eat healthier today, have a better workout, fix problems in my relationships with more understanding and empathy, do something to challenge myself mentally, emotionally and physically, ask more of my horses and dogs...the list goes on. With the concept of being progressive, sometimes it can get overwhelming. I try to get one percent better each day with these things, then it is not a ton, and it is still an improvement. Before you know it, one percent is 100 percent! (It doesn't end there though...) Lastly, what does natural mean to me? Well, it means doing things that line up closest to what the laws of nature say. For me it's treating horses as they treat each other, dogs as they treat each other, and treating other humans as I myself would want to be treated. The attitude of justice is effective...having a natural attitude makes me think about principle number 5. I take a natural attitude in to all areas of my life though, whether it's food I eat, activities I enjoy, or medicine I take.

So with this positive, progressive and natural attitude, it leads to success...every moment of life.

What are your thoughts on how attitude effects your success??
