March has come and almost gone. It certainly came in like a lion and looks like it may go out as one too as we eagerly await the arrival of April. With April comes many hopeful thoughts of spring, new growth, warmer days, and soon the arrival of summer and all the joys it brings.
April can also be a time to take a look at how we are doing on our new year's goals and desires. A time for reflection. Are we moving along smoothly in are goals, hitting bumps in the road and even road blocks? Are we seeing our efforts as successful and we keep moving forward or as failures and beating ourselves up and proving ourselves "right?" If you are in the successful category...congrats! If you are in the latter category...congrats! Yes, you heard me correctly...congrats!
Both groups of people have an opportunity to look at the attitudes they are bring to the table and to their goals. Are you successful because you are maintaining a positive attitude on a more consistent basis and able to overcome an upset more quickly. Are you failing because you take a "misstep" to be a failure and letting it spiral your attitude downward, along with your energy?
Attitude is a major player in how we accomplish what we set out to do. We are each responsible for our attitudes and the energy that accompanies them. Take a look at what attitudes you bring to your family. Your workplace. Your friends. Your church. Your workouts. Your Health. Do you bring an attitude/energy of negativity and complaining, or a spirit of joy? How do you affect others with your attitude? Are you influencing them for negative or positive?
Is a bad attitude affecting your workouts or your eating? Is that negative attitude allowing anything less than perfection to stop you? If so, I encourage you to take heed of these powerful words from Harry Truman -"Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction."
Don't let a negative attitude derail you from the things you desire to achieve. Turn that frown upside down and see what amazing things will take place. If you find yourself coming into your life situations like a lion and leaving a wake of destruction from bad attitudes, I encourage you to wake up to your thoughts, feelings and actions and become more like a lamb. Reap the rewards of positivity in all areas of your life, from family, work, church, friends, nutrition, health and more.
Lion or Lamb, Negative Nellie or Helium Harry...it's all a choice and it's up to Y-O-U. What's it gonna be?

Until next time,
Go BE Great!
