Dear John,

Dad would tell me that stinkin' thinkin' causes hardening of the attitudes.

Did you know that the wrong input causes stinkin' thinkin'?

Did you know that you can choose the right input, or you can choose the wrong input?

This means that attitude is a choice!

“You are what you are and where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change what you are and where you are by changing what goes into your mind.” Zig Ziglar

The mental input, what you choose to think about, determines everything about how you live.

We are the sum of all the things that have gone into our minds and what we believe about those things.

“Your input determines your outlook. Your outlook determines your output, and your output determines your future.” Zig Ziglar

What you feed your mind determines your appetite.

The good news is you can make a choice right now to change your input and change your beliefs about what has happened to you in the past.

Tough question - is what I am reading, listening to, watching on tv, discussing with others, saying to myself in self-talk, bringing me closer to achieving my desires, creating more hope that I can achieve my desires, and adding to what I need to develop with grit?

Choose To Win!

Tom
