Attitude… Here We Go Again!

in Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, Secondary Schools / by Gene Bedley
January 2, 2013

Do you realize the impact a negative attitude has on everything around it…?

Oh sure…I can hear it now…”Oh No! Another negative attitude lesson…”

Wrong. If you are truly cynical…yes, it is birthed from a negative

attitude…but all an attitude is, is a mindset focus…and you determine in

life what you focus on…or don’t…Cynics are like the perpetual whiner who

always whines but never fixes the cause of the problem…and when approached

to do something about it, blames the world for not already having it fixed…

It is called a self-absorbed mindset…and that will NOT create any form of

success in your life…except the success of being a failure… Do you blame

things that happen to you on fate? Or do you think, “That’s just my luck?”

Cynics always see the bad in the good…and you can tell a true cynic by one

thing… Expectations. A cynic, or negative focus expects negative and

incorrect results due to their mindset…

What do you expect to happen this year? This month? This week? Here is a

secret…What you expect to happen in your life…generally

does…(CLUE!!!!!)

You wanna know something about the word cynic? It is a cousin word to

Cyanide…same root…Did you get that????
