What’s Your Tude, Dude?

Attitude: a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something. Typically, one that is reflected in a person’s behavior. A way of behaving. It can also be an emotional state that’s counterproductive to our desired result. No doubt everyone has attitude. The question is, Is it a good attitude or a bad one? 

Good tude:

Here are some examples of a positive attitude: 1) changing our perspective (our perspective has a powerful influence on our life and happiness), 2) smiling and being kind to others, 3) practicing compassion, 4) not taking things personally, 5) being happy for others’ success.

Bad tude:

Some people have a bad attitude toward work, a person. Here are some examples of a bad attitude: 1) being rude to coworkers or those in authority, 2) not taking responsibility for our mistakes. People with bad attitudes are described as: aggressive, arrogant, belligerent, blunt, callous, critical, cynical, dishonest, distant, envious, guarded, hostile, indifferent, intolerant, pessimistic, prejudiced, prideful, resentful, rude, selfish, suspicious, apathetic, untrusting.

We all have attitude. The reality is, we can choose our attitude. If we find ourselves having a bad attitude, we can change it. If we have a good attitude, we can grow in it.

We all have attitude, but which will we choose? I hope we all choose a good attitude.

Just a thought,

PSS
