Each and every day we have a choice. We can climb up to the
top of the world and look down, or go down to the dungeon an d
do the deed. Frequently, our job becomes nothing more than a bore, a chore
with which to bide our time until the dawn of another day. We can bathe in
fresh dew of a new day or dwell in the drear which seems always near.
It is said, “Our attitude determines our altitude.”
While an excellent attitude isn’t, by itself, enough to get what we want in
life, it will help us to do everything better than we would do with a
terrible attitude. Our current situation is a function of circumstance and
decision. Even though our circumstance is often beyond our control, it is
our decisions which drive our destiny and direction.
For some, economic activity is a function of direct thought;
for others, it is a result of happenstance and fate. Regardless of our
situation, we can decide to make the best of the cards we have been dealt.
Each day brings forth a new opportunity to discard and draw or hold tight
and wait. All too often we let chance determine our course as we hang on for
the ride as best we can.
Even if we are currently engaged in an activity which isn’t
our burning desire, we can choose to put
 our
best foot forward and charge forth. Taking the first step is usually the
most difficult. To gain momentum we must be willing to push beyond our
comfort zone and reach beyond our grasp.
When we do more than we are paid to do, we will soon be paid
more for what we do. It’s a law of physics. The only way to create new
results is to take new action. Making the decision to create wealth, health
and happiness here and now is a state of mind. We can decide daily to go
down in the dungeon and do the deed or climb up on top of the world, look
down and drive toward that which we most desire.
