Attitude! We are Free to Choose Our Own!

You control your Attitude!

If you can control your thoughts, then you can control your world!  What a powerful statement.  It says what happens to you doesn't matter, It's how you react that makes the difference in your world. 

Your Destiny is determined by your attitude.  All of your relationships are affected.  Your success in life is determined by your attitude.  Your health , physical and emotional is controlled by attitude.

In the book, Empires of the Mind, by Dennis Waitley, He tells the true story of a strong healthy man who worked in a railroad yard.  He got along well with his fellow employees and was a reliable and hard working man.  He was a pessimist who always feared the worst.  His attitude was negative.

One summer day the crews were told they could quit an hour early in honor of a foremans birthday.  Whenn the other workers left the site, our friend, was accidentally locked in an isolated refrigerated boxcar. The car was in for repairs.

Panic set in.  Thinking the worst he shouted until his voice was gone and banged on the doors until his hands were bloody.  With all the noises in and around the railyard nobody heard him. 

Nick, our friend, knew he was in a refrigeeration car and estimated the temperature to be 0 degrees.  He thought he would freeze to death with no way out.  He found a cardboard box and wrote these words to his wife and family. "So cold, body's getting numb.  If I could just go to sleep.  These may be my last words."

The next morning a crew slid open the door and found Nick laying there.  An Autopsy revealed he had frozen to death.  The Boxcars Refrigeration unit was inoperative!  The temperature inside was about 61 degrees.  Air was plentiful.  Nick thought he was doomed, and so his Attitude fullfilled his prophecy!

Don't let your attitude work against your dreams or goals.  Keep it positive.  Don't allow negative into your mind.  I wonder what would have happened if Nick had imagined himself on a beach in Bermuda, while awaiting to be found.  Would he have a suntan?

This book has helped me imensly with my attitude and outlook on our wonderful industry.  Please give it a read and you may find a nugget to help you in a locked boxcar.
