I had unexpected visitors yesterday while I was watching the Masters Tournament (Professional Golf, the Super Bowl of Golf).
I soon realized that as happy as I was to see them on this last minute stop by, it was probably not a good idea for them to visit.
Oh, I don’t mean I didn’t want their company, and it had nothing to do with the Masters Tournament, they were both in a bad mood and that’s a little awkward.
I have to say, it turned out fine, they lightened up and we had some great laughs and it was fun.
Now, my thought to you today is, do you realize how your attitude affects others?
So your ticked off, your fussing about something and you can’t let it go. You have to know, no matter how hard you try to cover it up, your attitude is going to seep through in your non-verbal sign language and affect everyone.
Here are a few ways your attitude can affect others:
Your attitude towards others, will determine their attitude towards you.
Your attitude toward life, determines life’s attitude towards you.
Your attitude at the beginning of a task / job, will affect the outcome of the task / job more than anything else.
Before you can achieve the kind of life you want, you must think, act, walk, talk, and conduct yourself in way you ultimately have wished to become.
The higher you go in value, the better the attitude you’ll find. In others words, the more accomplished one is, the better their attitude.
Keeping successful, positive thoughts in your mind, will make all the difference in the world of your ongoing success.
If you always make a person feel needed, important, and appreciated, they will return that same attitude to you.
Glow in the attitude of well-being. Don’t be embarrassed to share visions, desires and goal to someone you trust.
Don’t talk about your health, unless it’s good. If you must talk about your health, only talk with those who are involved and feel comfortable about it.
Don’t broadcast your personal problems. It certainly won’ help you, and it will only make others uncomfortable.
Part of a good attitude is to look for the best in new ideas; car bumper stickers, restaurant menus, books, travel slogans, the innocence of a child’s words.
Make it a point to treat everyone you come in contact, with respect, patience, kindness and encouragement.
Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself.

By naturally following some of these thoughts, you will enlighten others and their bad mood will become positive and grateful.
It worked on my unexpected visitors yesterday, they quickly got over themselves and we had a great time visiting.
So remember, you attitude DOES affect others on so many levels. if you blow them off by your ‘bad mood’ or ‘bad attitude’, someday, they won’t come back.

A great message Linda. My attitude is usually very good but I do have my days as I think most of us do. I love your advice to always make people feel important and appreciated. It is not difficult to do and often means so much to the other person. Great post thanks.
You do have a sweet attitude Sue, but you’re right, we all have our days, especially when we least expect it. Thank you for your kinds words, I hope to help others really do feel how much I care, because I really do. Otherwise I wouldn’t even bother doing these blogs. Thanks.
Thank you Sue. “always make people feel important & appreciated” is something my parents instilled into me. They were wonderfully wise people. This advise has served me well during my life & I only wish others would catch on. Thank you for your insight Sue, I appreciate it.
Your attitude is a reflection of what is happening inside of you. I have been catching myself before I talk especially when someone asks me how I am. I would usually say ‘Oh I’m feeling quite tired’ or ‘I’ve got a lot of work on.’ So I enjoyed being reminded that your attitude or how you respond to a situation can either have a negative or positive influence. I’d rather chose the latter. Thank you for the reminder of how we should approach each day:)
Thank you Naomi, you’re so sweet. I believe we all need to do a “double check” before we speak, because it’s not just the words as you know, it’s presentation, presentation, presentation! I’m glad the reminder gave some value to you. Thanks for visiting today Naomi.
Great thoughts on attitude! I totally agree, and when I catch myself falling into that “bad attitude” zone, I immediately refocus on something I’m grateful for. It helps so much on getting back on track. Nobody want’s to be around someone who’s a downer!
Good for you Chantae, you’ve got the upper hand & a good connection with yourself, that’s fantastic. Thank you for visiting my blog today, I appreciate it.
Oh my … so many words of wisdom wound into one post! I don’t know when it started to be a habit for me … but I notice that I am very aware of thinking before speaking … and asking myself … is this a thought that will bring value or not? If not, I don’t speak. And if I know that what I’m about to say might be negative, but I feel I need to share it anyway, I try to always pre-frame it before I say it.
Attitude is so very important … again … another extremely enlightening post Linda!
Thank you!
You have got the right idea Erica, if folks would only “pre-frame” their words before they let them out, people would get along much better. However, you’re pre-framing always seem to come with thorough thought & intellect, to project profound value. I love that. You’ve really come along with that pre-talk check, & it serves you very well. Thank you for the kind words, my friend.
I often find myself doing what Naomi mentioned, if Im not feeling happy, I catch myself before I open my mouth..or I may just confesss how I really feel to one person but keep my ‘pecka’ up otherwise – great post Linda 🙂 thankyou
Haha, I agree Helen. I think it should be a pre-requisite for everyone, to ‘think before you speak’, but if you weren’t raised that way, uh oh…. Thanks for visiting today.
great stuff, Linda, don’t know where to start commenting…! I have found that saying I am ‘great’ or ‘everything is awesome’ really is a good way to start convos on a positive path, if I’m in pain no one can help me anyway, I have to find a specific source to overcome that and I always do whether it’s physical or emotional it’s the same situation. Profound words, thank you! Xo, Zen
Thank you Zen, I appreciate your insights. Keeping the positive attitude regardless if you are or are not 100%, keeps you mind consistent & you body responds to your mind thoughts/words. Very well said Zen, I love your perspective, as always.
