If You Have This Under Control . . .

We’ve talked about a lot of things that are crucial to your success with MPM. All of them are important. This one is imperative. It is one of the few we can’t provide for you. Only you can produce what is needed. Only you can make sure you have it. Only you can do what it takes to keep it. What are we talking about?



Your attitude. We’re talking about your attitude. You know, our attitudes are among the few possessions that are totally ours and can never be taken from us. Houses and cars come and go, but our values and attitudes are with us forever. It is only when we continually exercise control over our own attitudes that we can manage external circumstances. Real change comes first from the inside. Our behavior naturally follows.



There will be things in life that challenge our ability to keep a positive, good attitude. There will especially be things in MY POWER MALL. Rejection can take a swipe at our good attitude. People not living up to their promises can deal a blow. Someone dropping out can be a bomb to our attitude. But only if you let it. It is up to you to determine how you will react to them.



You can't successfully perform the tasks necessary to succeed when you are depressed, especially in a business in which success results more often from attitude than ability. Many people fail simply because of their attitudes. It is virtually impossible to get people to join you in building MPM if you don’t show them enthusiasm. We can’t expect others to join us if it is obvious to them we are less than satisfied. Remember, enthusiasm is contagious.



We’ve talked about reading, listening to tapes, etc. We will bring up this subject many times because it is so key to your success. Let me give you something to think about. This was written by Charles Swindoll, a best selling author.



“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill…



“The remarkable think is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past; we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I’m convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.”



Your attitude is truly up to you. What is it going to be today?!
