A winning attitude is something that we need to develop on a daily basis.
It very much has to do with what we allow to pass through our lips.
Personally, I can tell a person’s attitude level by the words that they speak. So take a moment to consider the following suggestions by best selling author John Maxwell.
He suggests that instead of saying, ‘We’ve never done it before,’ say, ‘We have the opportunity to be the first.’
Instead of saying, ‘We don’t have the resources,’ say, ‘Necessity fuels invention.’
Instead of saying ‘We’ve already tried that,’ say, ‘We learned from experience.’
Instead of saying, ‘We don’t have the expertise,’ say, ‘Let’s network with those who do.’
Instead of saying, ‘Our vendors and customers won’t go for it,’ say, ‘Let’s show them the opportunities.’
Instead of saying, ‘We don’t have enough money,’ say, ‘Maybe there’s something we can cut.’
Instead of saying, ‘It’ll never get any better,’ say, ‘We’ll try one more time.’
Instead of saying, ‘Let somebody else deal with it,’ say, I’m ready to learn something new.’
Instead of saying, ‘I can’t,’ say, ‘By God’s grace I can.’
