Understanding the power of attitude is the first step to being in control of everything else that could impact on you and people around you.

Keith Harrell once said something powerful which was this, the most valuable asset you can posses is a positive attitude. Attitude is one of the most noticeable things in an individual. If someone has a positive attitude towards themselves it’s most likely they have a positive attitude towards others. However if a person is negative towards themselves you will also notice how negative they are towards others. They are usually arrogant and very selfish at times. But the best thing about attitude is that if it’s bad it can be changed.

The power in exercising your attitude is through action.

Choosing to be accountable in your life is very important. For instance if you wanted to be a doctor and your mom dices that you should be a teacher because it will be cheaper for her to pay for your tuition. Most people give up and live up their lives blaming their parents for not allowing them to become what they aspired to be in their lives. Being accountable simply means you became responsible for your own life. Instead of sitting down and watching your own dream down the drain you would go on and register for a relevant course which would relate to a medicine trade but as cheap as your teaching course, once you are well established and have a job you can carry on to portray your dream. If you are searching for an attitude that is productive for you, choose to have a positive attitude.
