FOR ME, ATTITUDE CAN BE DEFINED AS ONE
WORD…LIFE.
• It makes an incredible difference in your LIFE.

• It determines whether you’re…
ON THE WAY or IN THE WAY.

“Ability is what you are
capable of doing.
Motivation determines what
you do.
Attitude determines how well
you do it.”

The BAGGAGE you carry shapes your
attitude. “IF-only?”; “What-now?”;
“What-if?” The root causes of bad
attitude are-Low Self Esteem, Stress,
Fear, Resentment, Anger.
Toss the BAGGAGE and lighten the
load.

21
Change your attitude with a change in
PERSPECTIVE. Give yourself permission
to love and forgive.
See Failure as an Event.
Don’t Take it Personally.

“FAILURES” WHO MADE IT BIG...
• Harrison Ford was told early in his career by a studio exec
that he’d never make it as a leading man...he didn’t have
“it.”
• In high school, Michael Jordan was cut from the basketball
team.
• Thomas Edison failed 6000 times before the light bulb.
• Charles Schwab was dyslexic and almost flunked out of
Stanford after failing English twice.
• Vanessa Williams was de-crowned Miss. America and has
become a an award-winning African-American actress.

Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an
opportunity in disguise. Success in many
cases is failure turned inside out.
Eliminate the negative attitude and believe
you can do anything. Replace 'if I can, I
hope, maybe' with 'I can, I will, I must.”
Mary Kay Ash
Founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics empire
