The Law of Attitude is an essential law of life, because your attitude is the command central for the communication process. Your ability to make positive connections with others will largely be based on your attitude and the perception others have of it.

The Law of Attitude is the great connection between how you affect people that you meet and your ability to leave them feeling good as a result of your interactions. In order to position yourself for success in life, you must begin with your attitude. I must make three key points before we move forward:

The Law of Attitude: three key points

1) Your attitude ultimately determines your altitude

2) Attitude affects your aura, which eventually determines boundaries

3) Extended boundaries allow maximum growth on your journey of success

Attitude determines Altitude

Your attitude ultimately determines your altitude. Think of it this way: if you maintain a poor mental attitude, you will deny yourself the opportunity to climb to new heights.

Think of an eagle, one of nature’s magnificent creatures, as it soars high above the ground. There are several reasons an eagle will soar to new heights. Firstly, it has a better view of what is below. Secondly, if it were to fly very low to the ground, it would have to work harder to avoid trees, buildings, even the land itself. Thirdly, it has options: it can go higher if need be, or it can descend to lower levels, but it never compromises its position. You must strive to keep your positioning, your edge.

What this means to you is: Do not hold yourself back from soaring higher because you have the wrong mental attitude.

In the game of life, you must sometimes accept that the playing field in which you are competing in may not be level. However, you can change things in your favor by maintaining a positive mental attitude. A key step in this process is to seek and consistently discover the good in all of your interactions. This will shore up a strong and positive outlook.

A bad attitude, whether it is justified or not, will squash your opportunities and eliminate you from the game. As they say, in order to protect against being denied opportunities in life, you should always keep your feet at the gaming table. Don’t let a bad attitude put you on the outside with people who matter!

Don’t let your attitude restrict the height to which you can grow—it can become an altitude wrecker! It is noteworthy to mention that so many things in our daily lives change when we change our attitude. For example, you are driving home from a long day at work, and someone cuts you off in traffic.

Most of us would respond aggressively and become agitated. We may think, “Perfect, this tops a day like this.” But if you sit back and change your attitude, does it mean the end of the world? Perhaps not, and you needn’t be quite so angry. In the end, you will find your day not so bad after all.

Take one moment every day and sincerely ask yourself, “How would things change if I rose above this and changed my attitude?” You will be very surprised at what you find. You might discover that slowing down and allowing the aggressive driver to pull in front of you was just what you needed to realize that you had been speeding. The intruder was a wake-up call that saved you from a certain speeding ticket form the highway patrolman who was hiding under the overpass you quickly happened upon. How would this discovery leave you feeling?
