quotations about attitude
The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude.

Your attitude to life is far more important in determining your happiness than your money, appearance, social status or talent.

Choosing Happiness
Your attitude is like a mirror. The attitude you give out is the same attitude you will get back.
JUSTIN HERALD
Would You Like Attitude With That?
I am still determined to be cheerful and to be happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learnt, from experience, that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about with us, in our minds, wheresoever we go.
MARTHA WASHINGTON
letter to Mrs. Warren, Dec. 26, 1789
Your attitude colors every aspect of your life. It is like the mind's paintbrush. It can paint everything in bright, vibrant colors--creating a masterpiece. Or it can make everything dark and dreary.
JOHN C. MAXWELL
The Maxwell Daily Reader
An attitude is almost like a muscle. You can chose to have a good one. Find ways to exercise it, and make it grow.
JERRY S. BEALL
There Will Always Be a Tree
People with a positive attitude are influenced by what goes on within them. People with a negative attitude are influenced by what goes on around them.

Your attitude is like the engine that runs the car. The more finely tuned that engine is, the better the car will run.
KEITH HARRELL
Attitude Is Everything
Negativity sucks away energy. If part of the negativity stems from your attitude or perspective, commit yourself at the beginning of each day and each activity to find something positive in yourself and in others around you. If the people around you are negative and you can't change that, either remove yourself from the situation or view it simply as one obstacle you face in pursuing your own potential. Stay focused on your own goals and make the best of the situation.

The happiest people are the people with the best attitudes, not the best lives.

'Twixt optimist and pessimist
The difference is droll--
The optimist sees the doughnut;
The pessimist sees the hole.

Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.

Always trust a positive response, question any negative ones.
JACK DANIELS
Daniels' Running Formula
It doesn't matter how talented, experienced, or hard-working you are--if you have a bad attitude, then your options will be limited.
ANDREW MERLE
"Why You Should Choose a Good Attitude", Huffington Post, February 9, 2016
A person with a positive attitude is like a fruit of all seasons.
SHIV KHERA
You Can Win
A good attitude is contagious, just like a negative one. We're all familiar with that miserable, grumpy, emotionally needy co-worker who brings everyone down -- the one who compels you to duck down a hallway when you see them coming. The attitude you're aiming for is just the opposite. You want folks around the office to welcome time with you. Make them laugh, make them smile, listen to their stories, and ask about their lives. Find the humor in burdensome work situations and help everyone rise to tough challenges with a little more ease. Soon, you'll have people wondering how they'd ever get by without you.
