ATTITUDEIS MADE OF MANY THINGS THAT ADD

UP.

GOOD THINGS

BAD THINGS and

WHICH INFLUENCES US MORE?

MORE BAD THINGS =

A BAD ATTITUDE

THE WORLD OWES ME A LIVING

I HAVE TO FIGHT YOU TO KEEP YOU FROM HURTING ME.

AND, MORE GOOD THINGS =

A GOOD ATTITUDE

PLEASANT

PEACEMAKER

HELPER OF OTHERS

KIND TO OTHERS

I WILL SUCCEED

SERVANT OF OTHERS

SECURE

WHAT LIES BENEATH OUR AWARENESS TO CREATE

LIKE…

THINGS WE CARRY AROUND WITH US

ANGER

POOR ME

SADNESS

HATEFULNESS

WORRY

SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS

BUT WHERE DID ALL

OF THOSE TRAITS

COME FROM?

HOW CAN I KEEP

THE GOOD ONES

AND GET RID OF

THE BAD ONES?

LET’S GO BACK AND SEE

WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

WHERE DOES ANGER COME FROM?

IT MIGHT COME FROM: FRUSTRATION

BEING TOLD YOU WERE STUPID, OR THINKING IT

BEING AFRAID

OR PERHAPS BEING ATTACKED

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION?

ASK FOR HELP.

REDEFINE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. FOR EXAMPLE:

FIX UP OLD HOUSE, RATHER THAN BUY A NEW

HOUSE.

TRY TO FIGURE OUT A NEW APPROACH TO THE OLD PROBLEM

HOW DO I DEAL WITH BEING TOLD I AM STUPID?

BELIEVE IT

CHOOSE TO NOT BELIEVE IT.

OR

YOUR CHOICE.

NOTE TO SELF:PERHAPS I SHOULD

NEVER TELL ANYONE ELSE THEY ARE STUPID.

DID YOU KNOW THAT

ALBERT EINSTIEN’S TEACHERS

SAID HE WAS STUPID?

HOW DO I DEAL WITH FEAR?

ASK, “WHY AM I AFRAID?”

“THEY LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I MADE A MISTAKE IN FRONT OF THE CLASS .”

“I SAW A SCARY MOVIE ABOUT SPIDERS.”

TALK ABOUT IT WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE OVERCOME SIMILAR

FEARS .

FACE IT HEAD-ON.

AND THEN THERE IS THE

FEELING YOU HAVE BEEN ATTACKED

HOW TO HANDLE IT?

REALIZE THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO ATTACK OTHERS

ARE DOING SO OUT OF THEIR OWN WEAKNESSES

AS FOR ALL OF THE OTHER UNDERLYING EMOTIONS WE CARRY AROUND WITH US:

EVERYONE DEALS WITH ONE OR SOME OF THESE

FROM TIME TO TIME

BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE

HOW TO HANDLE IT

BY REACTING

(BE A VICTIM)

OR BY

USING THE SITUATION TO MAKE YOU A

STRONGER PERSON.

FACE IT

OVERCOME IT

CHOOSE TO

AND

NO KNEE-JERK REACTIONS, PLEASE.

AND REVENGE IS NOT THE ANSWER.

DO NOT HOLD A GRUDGE

NOR PLAY THE VICTIM

LEARN FROM YOUR BAD EXPERIENCES

HOW TO TREAT OTHERS BETTER

THAN YOU WERE TREATED

AND EXPECT THE BEST FROM THEM.

LOOK FOR THE WORTH IN OTHERS, ESPECIALLY YOUR

CHILDREN.

TEACH THEM BY YOUR EXAMPLE.

GIVE THEM GUIDELINES, VALUES, AND BOUNDRIES

TO GUIDE THEM ON THE ROAD OF LIFE.

YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO FORGET PAST HURTS

BUT YOU CAN

CHOOSE TO CUT THEM LOOSE

SO YOU CAN BE FREE

TO ENJOY LIFE

AND HAVE CONFIDENCE

TO BE OUTGOING

TO TRY HARDER

TO BE LOVING

AND STRONG

TO PROTECT OTHERS

AND TO KEEP TRYING

FOR A GOOD ATTITUDE!
