Your Outlook Determines Your Outcome

You can probably relate more to the statement that your attitude determines your altitude. The more positive that you are, the higher you will propel yourself towards whatever goal that you are aspiring to attain. Therefore, it is quite simple to say that your outlook determines your outcome in life, business, marriage and finances.

Are you a positive person? I guess it really depends on what it is that you have to or need to be positive about right. Getting up in the morning to go to work and deal with a public or office personnel or even your boss can take some of that positivity right out of you before you even get started on the day. You may be one of the lucky few who have a job that you really like and those things don’t bother you and you look forward to being the effervescent positive person that you think you are.

Yep. I said it. It’s hammer time! (not really…that song just happens to e playing on the radio as I was writing this) But, getting back to reality…

Are you really that positive in your outlook? I only ask because if you are like most of us…it is all in your mind…it is all in your head.

Just like everything else that is based onyour outcome in life, our attitudes do determine our outlook on things. In marriage and finances for example, to have more seemingly is the glue that holds that union together.

That is great if in fact it is a unified action. Most often however, that is not the case. Usually there is an over-spender that leads to the other person having to be the under-spender, and you can imagine where that puts their attitude about life. And so the saga of married life begins a new chapter.

So if all that matters is truly in your mind and all those popular sayings come to fruition, then surely you can do and be all things that you conjure up in your head. Simply put…if you want to be healthy, eat right and exercise…if you want to learn a foreign language, make some foreign friends and live as they do…if you want to have a successful marriage, talk share and beware of your spouse! Not just that they exist (and most certainly not that they are here to serve you) but that they are a part of you. They are the outlook that determines your outcome. They are the attitude that defines your destiny.

Quite honestly though, if you have a hearty healthy attitude (whether it is in your mind or not) about your life your marriage or even your finances, you are in all probability much much better off than anyone who frowns all the time and scorns life instead of living it to the fullest. So I say feel what is in your heart and listen to your head and let your outlook determine your outcome. You just might like the person in your head that you picture yourself to be.
