There are times in our life when we should have attention deficit! Our minds are the center of our attitude. What we take into our minds for later regurgitation will determine our attitude in any given situation. The more negative information we take in the more negative our reaction will be in any situation we might be confronted with. Likewise the more positive information we take in the more positive our reaction will be in any given situation. As we give more attention to the negative information that comes through the media choices we make the greater the likelihood we will adopt a negative response. We are the owners of the input choices we select each and every day. Listen to negative music, watch negative programming, read negative information, and involve ourselves in negative conversation we are adding to the negative storehouse in our minds. Of course this is also true of positive information, the more we take in the more likely we will have a positive response when a response is required.
Ownership is the key. Taking ownership is an entirely different subject. We will establish a process for taking ownership in my next post that most anybody can apply.
