Mid-week Musings : Quotes on Attitude

Leadership has less to do with position than it does with disposition.~John C. Maxwell~
What likes behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
~Walt Emerson~

~John C. Maxwell~

~Hugh Downs~

God chooses what we go through. We choose how we go through it.
~Anonymous~
Everytime you make a choice you are turning the control part of you, the part that chooses, ito something a little different from what is was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, you are slowly turning this control thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish one.
~C.S. Lewis~

As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behaviour. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on the behaviour you admire by making it your behaviour. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works.
~John C. Maxwell~

Motivation is like love and happiness. It is a by-product. When you're actively engaged in doing something, the motivation to keep on doing it sneaks up and zaps you when you least expect it.
~John Bruner~

You're more likely to act yourself into feeling than fell yourself into action. So act! What it is you know you should do, do it.
~Jerome Bruner~
Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thought, and can be acquired. An action repeated becomes an attitude realized.
~Paul Meier~
