Show up with the right attitude to increase your chances of
succeeding in any situation. Many aspects of life, such as the rules we follow
in society, lie beyond our control. Some rules are straightforward, like
traffic signals, while others are complex, such as tax regulations. However,
you need not become a prisoner to these uncontrollable factors. You can control
the attitude you bring to most situations.
If you show up with a high-energy attitude, optimism, and
agency, you set yourself up for success. Although the degree of success may
vary, it will likely lead to more positive outcomes.
Nietzsche referred to this idea when he said,
"If you have a strong why, you can bear almost any how."
A strong why need not be an esoteric purpose; it can also be
action oriented.
- It can be the clear, rational optimism you hold.
- It can be the unrushed and focused energy you bring, and
- It can be the consistent, yet not inflexible schedule you adapt.
Your attitude is like a horse that either needs to be reined
in or needs to be prodded.
It is better to have the former.
