A Good Attitude Always Wins

 By Sonni Carr | Submitted On July 15, 2008

Did you know a person with a good attitude always wins? Everybody wants to win. The problem is, not everybody can win; somebody has to be the loser. For example, two equally qualified people can apply for the same job, but only one will get it. More than likely the one who has the best attitude will get it. Even if their good attitude is phony, they will still win. There are people every day who pretend to have a good attitude. I know this is true because I've done it, haven't you? There will be times when this is necessary and it's not always a bad thing. I believe it's better to have a genuinely good attitude, but I also believe you can fake it till you make it. What's does fake it till you make it mean? Well, for me it means, I will do anything I need to do to get a desired result. Naturally, this takes a little work since I'm not good at being phony, but many times it has resulted in a good attitude that is 'real'. What little bit of work I had to do to put a smile on my face, was and is worth it. Maybe you don't feel that way, you may say, I can't do that. Yes you can, if the stakes are high enough. For instance, take a single mother with three kids who needs her job. Should she risk losing her job just so she can act out her bad attitude? Now, let's take a look at some things that can help you keep a good attitude:

1. Stay balanced: Enough sleep, exercise, good diet, family time, social life, etc. 

2. Don't neglect your spirit, meditation, prayer. 

3. Hang out with people who have a good attitude. 

4. Stay away from negativity, it's contagious. 

5. Be grateful, don't complain

These are a good start, and as you think of more, add them to your list. As stated previously, a genuinely good attitude is best. However, there will be times when you may have to fake it and that's Ok. To fake a good attitude is better than acting out on a bad attitude any day. Besides, there's a good chance a phony attitude might just turn into the real thing. Furthermore, a bad attitude will never be anything but bad, and of course, a good attitude always wins. by Sonni Carr [http://www.moonbowchaser.com] http://www.squidoo.com/feedthechildren
