Are you flying or flailing ? Attitude is an aeronautical term that refers to the relative position of the nose of the aircraft to the horizon. If the horizon is straight out in front of us and we pull back on the yoke of the plane slightly one degree up angle, we have an upward attitude. With continued forward progress we will gain altitude, continuing go higher and higher until we change our attitude. Obviously, the opposite physics hold just as true. With the nose of the plane pointed even slightly down, we will begin to lose altitude. The descent will also continue until we have a change of attitude. In learning the tools to manage my mental, spiritual and emotional altitude, I must also learn how to manage my attitude. Many people believe that our emotional attitude is a state of being, or the result of a situation or circumstance. But in truth, as with flying, our attitude is the direction in which we are pointed. Just like gravity affects a plane, in our lives there are many variables of our environment over which we have no control. Most of the people and events in our life are much better left to grow or happen without us trying to wield inappropriate control over them. We have shown that we have a big enough challenge in managing our own lives, let alone everyone else’s. Watch just how fast you can change the entire altitude or spirit of your household by flying in with a down attitude. What do you think will be the success rate of going in to a job interview with the attitude of, 'I'm not good enough'? You are just as likely to succeed as a plane trying to fly upwards while the nose of the plane is pointed down. Simple? Yes. Always easy? No. To read the rest of the story, check out: Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude You have come this far, and you are worth the long-term investment!
