Passionately embracing the right attitude acts a driver that trumps everything in life. As a result of this, we can focus on the things that should truly matter in life.
“Success is 87.5% as a result of your attitudes. Your skills, abilities and knowledge make up the other 12.5%”. Stanford University Research Institute
The unknown breeds fears and helplessness breeds depression . . I’ve experienced both. I did snap out of it though; but only after I accepted that my own attitude was key to breaking the mode.
They said about Michael Jordan; “Not good enough for the varsity basketball team”. He became the greatest basketball player of all time.
They said about Sylvester Stallone; “Talked funny, walked funny and couldn’t act”. I needn’t tell you what became of him?
They said about Shakira; “Sounded like a goat”. She has sold 60 million albums around the globe, and still counting.
What did these three all have in common? An ATTITUDE that underpinned the passion driving them to become what they desired to be. Limitation and opinion did not matter to them.
We focus on “who we are” and “who they say we are”. But the fact is, our effort should be on “who we become”.
In order to break the mode, we must disallow popular opinion and circumstance from determining what becomes of us. In this regard, my Tip from the Iceberg is “The right attitude always overcomes the odds”
Things have been said about you; so what? The real question is “Are you letting people or predicament shape who you become?”
