MT2 Growing Leadership Blog #34 – Define Your Culture – Have a Positive Attitude

Yesterday as part of Share the Learning, I discussed my quote, "When You See the Learning, Everything Changes." One of the things that change when you gain awareness is your attitude. Suddenly your doubts, insecurities, and your lack of action go away.
You now feel good about your next step, your direction, your destination. You suddenly have a good attitude, and you are excited to be moving forward.

But, here is the thing. What comes first? Discovery learning that gives you a positive attitude or a positive attitude that creates the possibility of discovery? We often get that wrong and wait to feel good and have a positive mindset before starting anything.

The other thing I learned about attitude is that our attitude is not contagious. We can't catch a bad or good attitude from other people or our situation. It is not a virus. Only we decide on our attitude. Only we select a good or lousy mindset. So if you find yourself with a bad attitude, it is up to you to change it.

Since we are the only ones who choose our attitude, chose a positive one.
