Motivation on the Run

What is the most important aspect of success?
Motivation? Goal Setting? Skills? No!
These are not the beginning, they are the results of a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! Without the right attitude, you will not be able to motivate yourself to get started. Without the right attitude, you will not be able to set and goals, yet alone, achieve them. No, the positive attitude is the starting point and all other things build on it.

Henry Ford said: “Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.”

That’s right, before motivation, before goal setting, and before skill improvement, you must get your attitude right. Here are a few quotes that drive home the point.

“Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can’t be done.” Bo Bennett

“There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.” W. Clement Stone

“A positive attitude may not solve every problem but it makes solving any problem a more pleasant experience.” Grant Fairley

“Nothing is impossible. With the right attitude, you can do anything you want. It’s all about choosing to be positive instead of being negative about things. Like I can look at “not working” as being “no one’s hiring me and no one will give me a job.” Or I can look at “not working” as being “a fantastic vacation.”" Minnie Driver

How could I improve on these? The only way I know is to give you a few more for good measure. Attitude is not the main thing, it’s the only thing …

“You cannot tailor make the situations in life, but you can tailor make the attitudes to fit those situations before they arise.” Zig Ziglar

“Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. ” Charles Swindoll

That is why attitude is the most important aspect of success. Maintain the attitude and you will see success.
