ATTITUDE AND ALTITUDE

I have a friend who is a pilot.  He also has a personal prop plane and a number of years ago, he took me up for a couple hour flight.  I have flown commercial many times, but there is something different about a smaller, personal plane.  You are up in the air, but close enough to the ground that you can see and make out what is below you.

On our flight, my friend would tell me about his instrument panel and what different things meant.  A couple of things really caught my attention.  One was the fuel guage...for obvious reasons!  The other was when he started talking about our altitude.  He said that the relationship that the nose of the plane has with the ground or the sky, is called "ATTITUDE." He went on to tell me that the "ATTITUDE" determines the "ALTITUDE" of the plane:  Your "ATTITUDE" is up, you go up.  Your "ATTITUDE" is down, you go down.

What a GREAT picture of our lives.  Think about it:  if you have a bad "ATTITUDE" and your head is down...nose to the ground...more times than not, you have a hard time.  Almost feels as if you "crashed!"  BUT, if you have a good "ATTITUDE," head up/nose up...you soar...as they would say, "The sky's the limit!"  

YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES YOUR ALTITUDE!

Here are 3 quick things you can do, while you are sipping on your first cup of coffee each day:

• Wake up each day determined to MAKE IT A GREAT DAY
• Start off each day thinking of 3 things you are GRATEFUL for
• Walk out the rest of the day with your head held high...with your ATTITUDE soaring through the clouds.

Having a BEST YEAR YET is mostly a decision YOU and I make, especially when it comes to our ATTITUDE!  Remember, YOUR ATTITUDE DERTERMINES YOUR ALTITUDE.  How HIGH and FAR will you go today?
