Businesses higher for attitude and train for skill. Attitude is not a feeling it's an action.

You are in control of your destination
When we tell others what to do, are we looking out for their interests? Or ours?
People who don't believe in your dreams have probably stopped going after their own.
"People who are to weak to go after their dreams, may find a way to discourage yours."

Rough rides are worth the journey
Be that stamp on the envelope! The envelope gets mailed, gets handled and ruffed up by many people. No matter what it goes through, the stamp sticks with it in order for the envelope to reach its destination.
YOU ARE THAT STAMP! Are you willing to stick to your plan of action regardless of the uncomfortable feelings that may come your way? Are you willing to stick it out through the tough times in order to get to your destination? In order to achieve greatness you must get these ten words out of your head- "What will other people think, What will other people say." The things you say to yourself is the only voice that matters.
"Tough times don't last. Tough people do."

What are you an expert on?
"I cant do this, I can't do that. Well I was never good at that. I'm just not talented enough." YOU ARE NOT AN EXPERT ON YOUR POSSIBILITIES. YOU ARE AN EXPERT ON YOUR LIMITATIONS.
Your possibilities will be discovered when you put a demand on your potential. Your potential must come out of hiding. You are full of infinite potential and the worst lie in the world is allowing your false limitations to put a block on your potential.
Whether you believe you can or you believe you can't, YOU ARE RIGHT! We create our belief system and then follow it. What are you believing in today in order to see a change in your tomorrow.
"The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts."

Have vs Want
"I want a raise, I want a nicer car, I want a bigger house, I want to finish school, I want to be on vacation, I want I want I want..."
Sometimes we fail to acknowledge and appreciate what we have because we're so concerned with what we want. We couldn't wait to get all those things that we already have: a new shirt, a new car, a better job. But how long before we get back to saying, "I want I want I want." When we concentrate too much on what we want we make forget about what we already have.
"Sometimes we are so caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey."

Happy Birthday!
No matter how old we are, we seem to get that warm feeling on the day of our birthday. Why does that feeling have to go away?
Our thoughts or actions will determine our feelings. You choose your thoughts. Your thoughts don't choose you. Practice today for how you want to feel tomorrow. Change your thoughts and you change your feelings.
What feelings are you determining today? Your thoughts will determine your attitude. What attitude do you wish to have? What thoughts are you having to obtain that great attitude.
P.A.C.E.- Positive Attitude Changes Everything

The worst excuse in the world
"I don't feel like it." How many times in our lives have we said this, "I don't feel like it."
Can you control your feelings or your actions? Do you act how you feel? Or do you feel how you act? Sounds strange. But here is the secret. You don't have to act how you feel. You can feel how you act.
Once we start acting a certain way, we will start feeling a certain way. Get yourself to do things you have to do when you have to do them. Quit allowing your feelings to hold you back from your responsibilities.
"Develop the winning edge; small differences in your performance can lead to large differences in your results." ~Brian Tracy

Have you hit a wall?
What are the obstacles in your life? Have they become brick walls that seem impossible to get over?
The brick walls in our lives are there for a reason. The brick walls aren't there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want it. The brick walls are there to keep those out, who don't want it bad enough.~ Ramdy Pausch
Take the direction from desire. If you have the desire for it, desire will push you threw it, over it or it will find you a way around it.
"A shot glass of desire is greater than a pitcher of talent." ~Andy Munthe

When will you be happy?
"When I find the right person, I'll be happy." "When I get revenge on that person, I'll be happy." "When I have enough money to buy what I want, I'll be Happy."
Why do we always want that one thing to happen just to make us happy. Maybe because we are still searching for what happiness really is.
The secret is that true happiness comes from within. No one can make you happy. Happiness is a decision. You can be happy if you decide to be! If what you think about makes you unhappy, then think about something else.
"The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is and the future less resolved than it will be." ~Marcel Pagnol

What do you highlight in your life?
A speaker once asked a women, "When was the last time someone complimented you." Her response was, "I don't remember." She was then asked, "When was the last time someone made a disparaging remark about you." She responded, "Back in high school this kid told me I wasn't pretty enough to go to the prom with him."
There are many moments in our lives. Why do some of us choose to highlight the moments we don't wish to see? Stop highlighting the moments you wish to white out! Highlight the moments you want repeated.
In the dessert the vulture chooses to focus on death. The hummingbird also flies through the desert and focuses all its energy on life. It looks for flowers, plants and other vegetation that it can use to sustain life. Where is your focus?
"Focus your energy on moving forward or you might get stuck right where you are."

Why don't we like everyone?
We don't like someone because they aren't the person that WE want them to be. Think about that for a second... We cannot control who they are. And when they aren't' the person we want them to be, we call them all these names like jerk, idiot, etc...
In reality we have to allow people to be who they choose to be. Once we allow them to be who they choose to be (not who we want them to be) then we can start to make a change. Otherwise we will just spend our lives hoping they were someone else. And when they are not then we hate them.
Remember people choose to act a certain way (people usually say, "well this is just who I am"). We are not dogs. If someone bites us we don't have to bite them back. We can choose our responses, then we can inspire them to make different choices by our own actions.
"By the way you live your life, people should want what you have."~Joel Osteen

Who is helping you stretch your limits?
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
Your potential is waiting to be unleashed. Who is helping you unleash yours?
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.” -Arthur C Clarke

Don't you make this mistake!
The following is based on Success Hotline's message #440 (973.743.4690)
Don't be a "WHAT- IF" Thinker.
What if this happens, What if that happens.- You know these people.
It's worrying about things that don't exist. If there are any real threats in your life, here is what worry does; it diminishes your power to deal with these issues instead of increasing your coping power to deal with it.
Possibility and Worry cannot exist in the same world. Do you think about what is possible? Or do you think about what and why it won't happen for you?
"Worry= tormenting yourself with negative thoughts."

So, if the greatest buried treasures are in the cemeteries throughout the world, then what are we waiting for. You aren't given great moments, YOU create them.
So many people have died without going after what they wanted. Fear stops you from living the life you want to live and being the person you wish to become. Don't die with your potential still inside you.

What does your body say?
Have you ever said, "Hello" to a stranger and they seemed stuck for an answer.
A charismatic person would ask his close friends, "Are you happy?" Their response would be, "Yes." This charismatic person would respond, "Then tell your face."
Your body language says a lot about who you are. Can others tell how much you appreciate what you have just by the daily look on your face?
"If we don't show our appreciation for what we already have, then why should we receive anymore."

Walking the Talk
Dedicated to Pompton Lakes High School, who changes lives everyday.
"There are many hard things in life, but the only sad thing is giving up."
Today, will you walk the talk? Or will you walk the talk tomorrow? Tomorrow will be your today and today will be your yesterday. In order to get where you want to be, you have to force yourself to behave differently than how you feel.

Our Greatest Human Challenge?
To live according to our beliefs.

You will encounter this everyday
Everyday you will face a problem. You can accept the challenge or get concurred by it. In other words, when you face a problem you get either Fascinated or Frustrated.
The great inventors looked at problems as challenges. The bigger the problem= the bigger the fascination to solve it. Surfers live by this rule. The bigger the wave, the more excited they get. How about you?
Do you give up? or press forward? It is ok to get so frustrated that finding the solution fascinates you. For some, they stop at their frustrations. Change your attitude and you change your outcome.

What else are you holding hostage?
How many qualities inside you, are you holding hostage? What did your confidence and enthusiasm do to be shut out of your life?
Stop blocking your enthusiasm. Some people might say, "Well I'm just not that enthusiastic. It's not in my personality." Aren't you excited to be where you are and enjoy the life you wish to live? It is your choice. You can either complain and find fault as to where you are in life or you can take responsibility for where you are and live out the life you wish to have.
So release the hostages. Open up the gates and let them out. What are you scared of? To not be the person you always wanted to be is cheating the world of who you really are. Remember, "Fear is an illusion; you think something is standing in the way but nothing is really there." ~Michael Jordan

Stop blocking it!
You have more inside you than you think is possible. But maybe your past has made you think otherwise. A negative past does not disqualify you from having a positive future.
You are where you are in life because of the choices that you have made. How do you get out of where you are? Answer: Start Making Different Choices.
The problem is we keep putting those 2 words together- Hidden Potential. When do we get rid of the word hidden? Stop blocking what you have and let it out. Hidden means we are scared. So we hide it. Why? Don't allow others to keep you right where you are. You are full of Infinite Possibilities, and if you and your friends don't believe in you, Than go find people who do.
"Continuous effort- not strength or intelligence- is the key to unlocking our potential." ~Winston Churchill

Why are so many addicted?
"When it comes to addictions, our culture pumps out addicts." ~Randy Pausch
Are you addicted to getting offended by people you don't know? Or worse, people you know?
"My friends will never hurt me. My family members will never hurt me." If you believe this, you might be saying that these people are perfect and never make mistakes. We all make the mistake of unintentionally hurting someone. Why? Because no one is perfect and maybe we take things to personally.
Solution: Don't put all your trust in one person. Allow them to make mistakes without your ego getting in the way.
"If you don't get offended, then you'll never have to forgive."

You only have 1 choice you can make
Are you going to be IN it or INTO it?
If you are in school, you are enrolled.
If you are into school, you are involved.
If you are in a job, you are just punching a clock.
If you are into your job you have a career.
It is your choice. If you are in a relationship, you may have problems. If you are into a relationship, you find solutions.
But the most important question is, How excited are you every morning to live out the life that you chose for yourself? Are you into your own life? Or are you waiting for something else to make it exciting.
"With a charismatic person, the room lights up when they walk in. A non charismatic person is when the room lights up after they leave."

How high is your E.Q.
Emotional intelligence is the emotional drive, needs, and the whole value system of a person. It is the ability of monitoring, understanding and managing your own and other people’s emotions.
E.Q. or Emotional Intelligence is put to the test when things don't go your way. Ever see how friendly everyone is at work. But how do they respond when things don't go their way? You can have all the Intelligence in the world. But if you lack the E.Q. how much of your life will you actually enjoy? Your Bounce Back Ability shows how strong your E.Q. is.

On the front of a shirt at a teacher’s convention read, "3 Best Things About Teaching." On the back it read, "June July and August." It's funny. But is it also sad. Some police officers get into their jobs so they can retire in 20 years. How quick are we trying to get to our graves?
We will spend most of our time in our career. There are some people who wait a whole year to enjoy only 2 weeks of it. What happened to the other 50 weeks? Do we depend on vacations to enjoy our life? Don't wait for the Grim Reaper to knock at your door before you enjoy the great life that you have.
"If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy."
Quote of the month: "Obstacles are those things we see when we take our minds off of our goals."

Spirit
Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keep You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only Spirit keeps You Going!

Do you own your attitude?
Ownership brings responsibility. How come when we react poorly, we tend to make others responsible for it? "Well they cut me off." "They told me off."
"Your reactions are not in response to what they said. But your reactions are in response to how you allowed them to make you feel." You are responsible for your feelings. "When we blame others by making excuses, we give up ownership of our own actions."
"If you want to take control of your life, stop making others responsible for it."
